They Told Us To See This! Best Street In The World? Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne Australia🇦🇺

[@ginacranbourne]

I love it when people get it about Melbourne. I love my city :)

[@sleuthinsandals1230]

Ikr! I remember moving to Brunswick Street in 1981, when it was just op shops, old industry, and cheap rentals ! all quiet! Those were the days eh! We brought the music and the vibe - live comedy, Triple R and 3CR and the myriad pubs with fantastic live music. 😢😅 I feel old !

The high-rise buildings are public housing from 1960's, replacing slums in inner areas

[@mikldude9376]

I’d love for you peeps to have a look around Williamstown , particularly on the weekends when it’s warm weather , the place comes alive , it’s actually an old suburb with the main drag near the water. I think it’s actually one of the gems of Melbourne that is often overlooked by travellers.

[@JC-db2gt]

Completely agree. Love Williamstown.

[@marvindacat]

haha, watching this from Williamstown (I'm meant to be working).

[@DJSinisterMetal]

Another great vid. Only other inner city locales I'd recommend visiting if you have the time would be Swan St, Richmond (bars and live music) and around the corner in Chapel St, South Yarra/Prahran (boutique shopping, most active nightlife and clubbing in Melb). Also the free Botanical Gardens and Shrine of Remembrance are a must-do as well. The weekend would be perfect weather for it. I'm still strongly recommending a Queenscliff to Sorrento car ferry day trip, the drive back up the beaches of the Mornington Peninsula is spectacular and the vibe is different enough to the Great Ocean Road that you won't feel like you're doubling up. Also definitely check out the Dandenongs -- the view of the Melbourne skyline from Mt Dandenong puts all others to shame.

FYI tagging is frowned on not allowed. Murals are put in place to discourage tagging. Maybe not all that successfully.

I'm loving finding your channel in time for my local suburbs. Not sure what camera you're using but the streets seem so much wider in you videos it actually takes me a little while to recognise corners I walk past every day. Really glad you've gone beyond the CBD.

[@leomat3431]

I had a shop on Brunswick Street from 1996 to 2020. It had its ups and downs during those years. When I left just before covid it had alot of empty shops up the Alexandra Parade end. It seems to be gradually picking itself up. The weekends were the best as you had alot people from all over Melbourne attracted to it during the day and night, whom wouldn't because of a busy work life. Ahh memories. The graffiti would change from year to decade you would find graffiti artist or taggers at mid night doing there thing. I use to work till 11pm sometimes only to see taggers climb drain pipes to get to 2nd floor of the building. Sometimes I heard them on my own roof..

The pub with the paint peeling off is The Provincial and was designed to look ‘rustic’ on the outside and has been fully restored on the inside. In Fitzroy/Collingwood never judge a book by its cover 👍🏼😉

[@SP-free]

It was falling apart on the outside when it was a functioning pub in the 80’s and nobody thought it was ‘rustic’.

[@eugenemaestrado3866]

To be fair people in the 80's want all things new and shiny and heaps of budings with characters were demolished. People in the newer generation wants the old things back. Talk about the a paradigm shift. What they call aged and ugly back in the days are now the "rustic" and cool nowadays.

[@anthonyrees7165]

Ouch! The Prov was renovated in again in 2015. Maybe my choice of the word ‘Rustic’ was incorrect. They renovated the Prov to still fit in with the heritage of the surrounding buildings. If it was shiny and new it would stick out like dogs balls!

Because you mention the classic old buildings oi a few videos this might explain why the buildings are so fancy. Because of the gold rush in Victoria, between 1851 and the late 1860's Melbourne was the richest city in the world.

You need to check out The Night Cat on Johnston St, Fitzroy (you were right on the corner at 11:23 ), and Bar Open (lilac awning across the street from where your video cuts from 11:53 to 11:54 you skipped about 50 metres) in the evening. The Night Cat looks awesome at night. And when you return to Sydney, you need to check out King Street, and Enmore roads in Newtown, as well as Marrickville.....oh, and Erskineville just a stroll from King Street, Newtown.

Brunswick St was at it's peak in the early 2000's. It was such a cultural iconic place. While it's still very cool, it has been commercialized and lost. a lot of it's original appeal. Come back tonight or tomorrow night to see it in it's full bloom!!!

Fitzroy is a beautiful area. You should also visit Dights Falls, in Yarra Bend Park. Not too far away from Fitzroy. Close to the city, but feels like somewhere in the mountain forests. Plus it's a historically significant waterfall, where the Merri Creek and Yarra River meet. Well work a walk along the shared (bike and walking) path.

The E-class trams that goes through Fitzroy are made by Bombardier/Alstrom, which also makes some of the trams in Germany, so I won't be surprised if some parts were used by all trams made by Alstrom worldwide.

Generally the local markets like Prahran Market, South Melbourne Market (another popular inner city markets) are more expensive than supermarkets. Generally, in my experience, the produce from the markets stays fresh for longer. Victoria Market tend to be the cheapest of all other markets because it has the most traffic.

It's so diverse & it's nice to see the hustle and bustle of city life with ojt being right in cbd! I lived in cbd for some time , and I prefer ir here, it' has a suburban feel, and also, with the graffiti, jt changes all the time ! Lots of people do paint murals, Brunswick has alot, I believe there's an app which takes you on a guided tour. People just paint and repaint , & also the town wojld look so boring with out it. Also Melbourne being the most dog friendly state for dog owners and renters, jts better for my dog to not live in the high rise in cbd. It's more calm here. & also it's quite expensive to live alone in Melbourne,.. so it's a blessing . Might look run down and may be is, bur it doesn't feel like it & jts character, I find it quirky and funny . But if I could move to the beach side you guys showed , I'd be there in a heart beat.
