It's tradition on ANZAC day for veterans to get together to raise a beer in a toast to their mates who didn't come home. That's why the pubs are open early. They go to the dawn service first to pay their respects to the fallen, then raise a toast to them at the pub afterwards.

[@paularthur1271]

Though liquor liecences are frozen between 12am and 11am on Anzac day so the hotel may have been open but it wouldnt be serving alcohol

[@dawnfire1]

a lot of units will have a meet up bar that they meet up every year.

I knew a lady who always attended the Dawn Service.I asked her why and learnt she was among the first nurses to land at Normandy.She was there when the concentration camps were liberated and ended up, " following the boys all the way to Burma".

Thank you for observing ANZAC day with us, lest we forget. Best of luck on all your future travels guys

[@osocool1too]

For two travellers to our country, you guys are awesome in so far as paying respect to our fallen servicemen and women, and just taking time to visit as many attractions as you have done. Your comments are always positive and your attitudes are bright and generally cheery also. Your channel is one of the best I've watched on KZbin without doubt. 👍🤗

Next time in Melbourne, definitely check out some of the neighbourhoods like Fitzroy, Collingwood, Northcote, Footscray, Balaclava to get a broader local feel

Don't go near Fitzroy or footscray unless you like weird, insufferable people.

thank you guys.....for showing your respect to our fallen....it is a very significant day in our history and one we never take lightly.....have a safe trip home, and look forward to your continuing trip down under....i hope you get up to the alpine region of NE Victoria....and throw a few Aussie snowballs at each other.....and hope there is a " Tia for scale " up next to an Aussie snowman !!! x

I just love how you do your research, are open to new experiences, have such optimism and are so generous in the way you share. And the humour. I just love that too. Safe and happy travels to you both.

[@jacklindberg5566]

As a local Melbournian i think the postcard is perfect, love the traditional tram. I hope (if your stay at melbourne has already finished by the time this is uploaded) that your time in melbourne has been great and i hope that our people have shown you a pleasant time. If you haven’t finished your time i’m melbourne yet, i hope that you get to explore more of what the city has to offer :)

[@kayeevans]

Thanks for attending our ANZAC Service , glad you appreciated it 🎉

[@xylon8]

Great to hear your now refined pronunciation of "Mel-Bun"! You'd be the only Americans Iv'e heard do this! You guys are welcome back any time.

[@jasgem76]

Thank you for attending the dawn service. It really is something special.

[@ooost1970]

Hi. I'm from Melbourne and I liked your enthusiasm for the place i call home. I've always thought it was a special place, so to have that re-affirmed made me proud. I also like that you didnt focus on the glitzy stuff and sat in parks walked around, and just chilled out. It was an easy watch and you felt like friends.

[@RobNMelbourne]

Fabulous to see you discovered Pellegrini's, one of my fav places and it is true about the 1st espresso machine in Aus. Also, the 1st pizza place in Aus was in Lygon Street, Carlton, our little Italy. I have lived in Melbourne for 42 years and originally from Queensland (yep, I'm an old bugga) and Queensland is totally different to Melb and Syd. Make sure you go to Healesville Sanctuary, part of Melbourne Zoo but north east of Melbourne in the 'bush'. The best place to see Australian animals up close and personal. Love watching your channel.

[@familyof4321]

Great job guys attending and covering the Dawn Service with dignity and doing your research first. Melbourne prides itself on its coffee culture which is why I came straight to the comments to see what everyone said when you grabbed a 7Eleven coffee 😅 even though when I’m working that’s my go to quick coffee and I always get teased for it. Great video, enjoy the wedding. Love the postcard

[@fisher898]

You guys are so respectful. You are seeing our beautiful country the right way. Please stay and enjoy as long as you like. You are most welcome.

[@quokkabell]

I saw my school's Bagpipe and Drum's Band playing at the service march in the video!

[@crackers562]

Much respect for celebrating ANZAC Day with us.... safe travels!

[@bamse23123]

Been following you since the start and it's so fun to see how you improving in both how you are in front of the camera and video editing. Your Australien serie is my favorit of your travel destinations. Wish our all luck.

[@user-vd5ez5od5x]

Very much enjoying your videos guys. You may have already left Melbourne by now, but given that your penguin experience at Philip Island didn’t really work out, do you know that you can see Little Penguins ( they are no longer called Fairy penguins) if you jump on the 96 tram to St Kilda (25 minutes). I’m a local here, but I am still super impressed that you can see these beautiful creatures against a backdrop of the city skyline. You may also see a Rakali, a native Australian water rat, that has a fleshy white tip on the end of the tail like a Ringtail possum. You will also be able to see Luna Park, with the world’s oldest still operating roller coaster and, perhaps, sample some cakes from the remaining cake shops in Acland Street which were established by Eastern Europeans in the 1930’s and 1940’s. I trust that you will continue to enjoy your travels up the east coast.

[@vader6203]

That black car you see at 6:10 is making a “hook turn” - a driving rule unique to Melbourne

[@gordo191]

That is the tradition on Anzac day , early beers , hurry back. You have so much to do when you come to Sydney, the Blue Mountains , The bondi to Bronte Coastal walk, The botanical gardens take a ferry to Manly , Barrangaroo , Walk across the Harbour Bridge, you are going to be busy , oh dont forget your woolies its very cold this time of the year, have a safe trip ,

Just Love You Guys for how respectful you are by attending ANZAC Day, where we pay respect to the Fallen of all wars - Luv You 🥰

[@uncleboo47]

Hope I'm not too late to put in a Postcard like guys - would love it. Hope the wedding was fantastic & I'll bet Tia's Best Man speech was EPIC! LOVED that you got up early to go to the Anzac Day Dawn Service down there - Kudos. Best Wishes from Brisbane.

[@gbsailing9436]

LOL, Great video again! I'm SO glad you guys made the effort to get up with all of us who went to a dawn service. They happen all over the country and are amazing. I think our one at Cronulla had even more people than it did last year! and the number of children and kids seems to be growing each year too! It is a very special day, on which a few things special things happen only on that day. You know it's a special time/day when you're standing with thousands of others in the pouring rain and no one is going home! I hope you guys are having a great trip back home to see family. I'm so looking forward to your trip north when you get back and making your way up to Sydney. It's my city and I hope you like it too. Don't forget to look me up on here and I'll help you get about and see many of the sights Sydney and even my home town have to offer (as I did for "Rob Reacts" last year - I took them to the Blue Mountains and Many Beach). Anyway, Safe travels! 💒 🔔

I love that KZbin popped up your video when you were in Adelaide and I've been watching every video since then. We've been living in the Adelaide Hills since 2017 after 2 years of travelling Australia full-time as a family of 7. We're originally from Brisbane. I just find you two so endearing, down-to-earth, genuine, respectful and appreciative of places and nature. Basically you're an adorable couple. Hope the wedding was wonderful and I'm looking forward to continuing to watch you experience many more places.

You did well to capture some of Melbourne's essence despite Tia's wedding speech nerves and your lack of coffee when filming 😊 Glad you got to experience ANZAC Day and appreciated Melbourne's mix of big city hustle & relaxed parks/gardens.

Hi guys great to see that you got to the Dawn Service on Anzac Day. The Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne is Australia's largest Dawn Service. I remember attending the service in Melbourne in 2015 (100 year celebration of Anzac Day) and they estimated the crowd to have been 160k on that day. Safe travels and hope the wedding of Tia's brother went well

Military, after the dawn service, usually have what is called a “gun fire” breakfast, usually at a RSL. It is a rum milk concoction that has been taken before and after a dawn service.

[@drwhotardis]

ANZAC Day is also my birthday. As a recently retired RAAF member I have memories of dawn services all over the country and overseas including London and Washington D.C.. Looking forward to your future posts as you head north. What I consider my back yard, The Royal National Park, less than an hour South of Sydney is a must visit. The oldest National Park in Australia and the second oldest in the world after Yellowstone.

[@russc7925]

Anzac Day, a very special day on our National Calendar. Love your videos

[@doubledee9675]

Probably too hard for tourists, but the best way to observe Anzac Day is to go to one of the services in a suburb or country town. We go to the one in our own suburb. There's a short march, with a service in traditional form to follow. It's much smaller and more personal than the main marches in the city, somehow more moving.

[@stephanburgess654]

Glad you experienced our ANZAC day. On this day Australia wide stops to remember those served in the past and present. It happens rain or shine with the only exception of COVID. Today in many of those bars diggers (soldiers) serving and non serving will be playing a game called Two Up which involves the tossing of 2 half penny coins. Players calling heads or tails. Its a shame you did not see that happening. Good luck at the wedding and look forward to your next video.
