Dad used to go to Vic Market every Saturday, the smell of all the fresh fruit, veggies and food was wonderful. My friend moved to QLD, but when she visits Melbourne, straight to the donuts before she’d visit as she misses them so much. Ah Parliament House, my great grandfather was a member of parliament during federation in 1901. My sister and I got to sit where he sat, sorta cool family history. I love Block Arcade, I used to cut through that every day in my way to work, didn’t realise how beautiful it is until I stopped working in the city, beautiful arcade. I’m seeing everything I grew up with. Haven’t been into the city for about 2 years, must plan another trip. Ta for vid , great memories .

That doesn't make sense. I like cryptic messages though.

[@lilyonenote]

I love the vibe of Melbourne, the wonderful architecture (old and new), the food, the markets and the people. Bourke Street is so lively, and it's great that they have free trams in the city circle.

[@landscaperben]

It's a great city with an awesome vibe. I love being a Melbournian!

Something interesting about the Queen Victoria market: The carpark sits on top of an old cemetery

[@YellowProductions]

+Candle Stick Oooh.. is it haunted? :)

[@melcatley3437]

Yellow Productions Apparently it is! . There's still around 9,000 bodies still buried right under the car park. Creepy huh?

[@YellowProductions]

Super creepy! :)

[@landscaperben]

That's cool I didn't know my fruit shop was above a burial ground!

[@shahancheong9792]

Not only an old one - it was also the FIRST cemetery in Melbourne.

[@527ctguy]

I loved the Laneway. Looked authentic. I'd eat there.

[@YellowProductions]

Mmm

[@527ctguy]

I@@YellowProductions I like more authentic places. My partner and I are thinking of visiting but want a more a non tourist adventure. - cheers!

[@henrywidjaja4982]

this Queen Victoria Market is lovely place when i visit to Melbourne, the cafe & bakery shop is good quality n affordable price, inside market u can buy some stuff n souvenir; T shirt, key chain, etc Prahran Market at South Yarra, infront of market have special Coffee shop with Black Coffee great quality, inside many restaurant with affordable price :-)

[@gemmadamayanti6194]

Just got back from Melbourne, and yes, their jelly doughnut is really good and man, I tried St Ali for coffee, nice one. Stayed there for a month and met nice Melbournian. Going back there in July :) Nice video!!

[@landscaperben]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. My city is awesome!

[@pepshaven6520]

Australians do NOT call them "Jelly Donuts", we call them JAM DONUTS. Calling Jam, Jelly is an American thing. To Australians, Jelly is that thing Americans call Jello. Also Americans do not price things properly. There is the price on the sales tag and then there's the PLUS TAX when you get to the checkout. It's unreasonable and just plain rude. You have the right to know the FULL price you will be paying up front and nobody should have to ask to obtain it. Australians do it properly. The price on the tag or the price you are quoted INCLUDES tax so you know eactly what you are paying up front. We are a civilized society.

[@YellowProductions]

+Peps Haven I agree with you that the hidden tax on things in the US is super frustrating!

[@DrRumsmuggler]

Jelly and jam aren't the same. Jelly has been strained and doesn't have any bits of fruit. In the US we don't add an "ee" sound to every word, so Jell-O is still Jell-O, which is a name brand anyways, not an actual good.

[@MyMaggie693]

Hi DrR, the generic name for the solid wobbly coloured stuff in OZ is called Jelly. A brand for us is Aeroplane Jelly. Jam is a fruit preserve that is spread on toast, we dont really differentiate between smooth and not smooth versions. It is interesting the similarity and differences in a language :D L

[@landscaperben]

I hear ya. Don't get me started about tipping in the US! Hah.

[@JBankMedia]

Always excellent informative videos!

[@waynedunn5594]

I understand what your doing. But Melbourne City Council actually lied about the "Made In Melbourne " By Robert Doyle former mayor,On the trams when you see Made in Melbourne , the new trams were actually built in Germany then exported over here to melbourne. Even the City Of Melbourne Logo is not Melbourne made. The designs we have in Melbourne are made from India , Japan and Germany, It's a shame that people don't know this. No offense guys , overall you did a great job

[@YellowProductions]

Sounds like something a politician would do :)

[@tripsadelica]

Some of the older Siemens trams came from Germany. Some of the Alston trams come from France but the very new trams are, indeed, made in the Melbourne suburb of Dandenong by the Bombardier company.

[@landscaperben]

Yeah sounds like a political move. What a lie. I never knew that. Thanks for the heads up.

[@swans9012]

Great video.. making me wants to visit Melbourne.. but apparently what Australians consider cheap is not the same as some of us think, looking at the price tags 😅

[@landscaperben]

Swany S Some things are cheap some things are not! Come and visit!

[@YellowProductions]

+Swany S The prices are in Australian dollars.. which compared to US dollars are less :)

[@steveheywood9428]

Food prices are in kilograms , which is equal to 2.2 pounds in America and priced accordingly.

[@tripsadelica]

If you go out of the city centre things are much cheaper.

[@the.magnus]

Ben, what’s with the LA cap, u are representing Melbourne not LA.

[@landscaperben]

LA has a special place in my heart. I didn't see it as a problem. You're not the only one that didn't like me wearing the hat!!!

Hmmm Melbourne looks a lot less interesting than Sydney 😬 and I wanted to go travelling to Melbourne

[@landscaperben]

Don't be fooled by Sydney's beauty, that's all it has. Melbourne has so much culture and other things going for it that Sydney wishes it had!

[@6ixConfessions]

I've been to both Sydney & Melbourne & Melbourne wins hands down. The layout is more user friendly espeicially the roads, the culutral diversity is far better & the food is to die for. The night markets at the Queen Vic Market held twice a year is amazing & a foodies paradise & there's so much more to see & do than this video shows. Also the weather is milder & more bearable in Melbourne than it is in Sydney & the peole are friendlier too. At least that's my experience & I now travel to Melbourne as much as I can & I still have so many things I want to see & do & places I want to eat at.

[@landscaperben]

@@6ixConfessions well said!

[@ruprectgreatrex9153]

Sydney is a supermodel - beautiful, but shallow. Melbourne is a pretty, beguiling woman who is into karma sutra.

[@landscaperben]

[@tripsadelica]

You reckon? Even Italians laud Melbourne's coffee culture and the coffee is superb. When I went to LA I was hanging out for decent coffee. Over there it's all filter coffee and their cappuccinos are AWFUL...made with filtered coffee with the steamed froth just plonked on top...yeeech! The ONLY two places in LA where I found good coffee was at a stall at Farmer's Market run by some lovely South American people and at the Tom Bradley terminal where one coffee shop made real espresso.
