I lived in Sydney for one year and I visited Melbourne for one week. Even if I love Sydney for the bay, the beaches and the nature surrounding, the most beautiful australian city is Melbourne, without doubts!

Try living out west on the other side of the West Gate. It's affordable but shocking in some spaces.

Thank you for this video. Very useful tips for people who are visiting Melbourne for the first time. Especially Great Ocean Road = Highly recommended!

Excellent vlog. I live in Melbourne and love it.

Got it all Melbourne, even a river of iced coffee. Love it.

I live in Geelong, on the Great Ocean Rd. Best time to come is in September- October, but the wether is very unpredictable.

I live in Melbourne. I still really enjoyed this. Well done

Just visited Melbourne I loved it. Next time I will drive myself to reach may more places in Victoria

Unfortunately September is probably the worst weather wise in Melbourne. January to April is the best with March being the standout. The Great Ocean Road is amazing in warm sunny weather. Thanks for the video. Glad you enjoyed.

@@theoutofofficetraveller Check a weather app at least twice a day because the forecast can change quickly 😊 Unless you're sure it'll be sunny all day, it's wise to carry a foldable umbrella and a jacket, because you never know when you might need them! Also a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen for Dec-Mar, as the summer sun can be brutal even on a cloudy day.

Unfortunately La Niña played a big part where Melbourne coped above average rainfall around that time in2022 .

As someone who lives on phillip island for 19 of my 21 years of life, I can tell you that phillip island only see's about 4-5 months of summer weather if we're lucky.

Melbourne is nice and is not a wannabe Sydney or a miniature version of Sydney. It has its own character and history. But Melbourne gets far more rain than Sydney. The stopover in Singapore is a great idea. I've been visiting Singapore since the 1980s. I could gladly spend a week out of every month in Singapore. It's great for just walking and exploring.

Mistake I made at Philip Island was to keep gaping out at sea to eentualsea a few penguins coming into shorebnot realising most of the penguins were behind me on land; weren't informed about this by the bull driver.

It always baffles me that people are suprised that melbourne gets cold. Australia is a huge place and Melbourne is to the south of the continent. No one expects Seattle to have the same weather as Palm Springs.

Very beautiful, clean and great location to visite. Juste some local offices were worst, a woman fake catherine protheau and his men since Airport, hope no more such for next trip.

January/ February / March best weather in Melbourne!

Whilst I myself live in a relatively nice neighbourhood in Melbourne. The city itself has a number of attractions and the outer parts of Melbourne are also appealing in some respects. However I wouldn't rate it highly personally. Yes it's clean in some spaces but overall the bay is pretty flat windswept and hardly appealing during winter. It's mostly quite flat therefore the views are quite bland looking into the distance. It's a nice place and it kind of depends where you live. I would prefer to live elsewhere.

You misnamed practically everything!
