Some more tips: 1. Melbourne weather is "four seasons in a day" i.e. changes very quickly, so dress in layers that you can easily put on / take as needed (especially in spring and autumn), with the outermost waterproof. 2. You may be charged an international transaction fee each time you use your bank card - especially debit cards - to withdrawn money from an ATM (this is levied by your bank, not the ATM) so ask your bank if this applies before you go on your holiday. If this is the case, make less frequent withdrawals of larger amounts, or get a "pre-loaded" card which often don't attract fee. 3. Trams have right of way over cars and pedestrians, so ALWAYS remember this when turning or crossing trams tracks. 4. When ordering a beer, don't drink Fosters (which most Aussies don't drink) - there are MUCH better beers than this. For inexpensive local beers, try Melbourne Bitter or Victoria Bitter instead (Coppers, as shown in thev video, is a good beer, as are Boag's and Cascade from Tasmania), and like most Australian beers, they are actually lager, not bitter, and meant to be drunk cold. In summer in particular, don't order a pint - the beer loses its chill too quickly and doesn't taste as good. 5. Australia has GREAT seafood, just remember they are PRAWNS not shrimp.

For all those jumping down his throat about how he pronounces Melbourne stop getting your knickers in a twist. What do you expect form someone who has for all his life known the word Melbourne as Mel-Born or Mel-Burn not Mel-bin or Mel-ben. He is American by the way, of course he will roll the r's, give the guy a break and be thankful that he did such as great job. Well done mate.

I’ve lived in Melbourne all my life and myself and everyone I’ve ever come across pronounces it Mel-ben

Love your videos! I am a local...lived here all my life and I've travelled to the US and other parts of the world. Some clarifications for you to note: 1/ City shopping hours do tend to vary and shops may open longer in the city than in the suburbs (Melbourne has huge ring of suburbs surrounding the city kind of like LA.). In general the hours are as follows: Monday to Wednesday- 8 or 9am until 5.30pm Thursday and Friday- 8 or 9am until 9pm Most shopping centres (malls) will keep to these hours but small strip shops may choose to close earlier. Saturday- 9am until 5pm Sunday-10am until 5pm There are exceptions in the CBD and the very large shopping centres may stay open a little longer...especially in summer. Supermarkets run 8am until midnight...there are some 24/7 supermarkets in the suburbs. Some department stores like Kmart (yes, we have them but they are not the same company as US Kmarts) will open 8am until 10pm every day in the suburbs with the iconic first-ever Aussie Kmart in Burwood (suburb) open 24/7. The big hardware chain here (Bunnings) opens until the early evening but each store may have different hours. 2/ Driving: STICK TO THE SPEED LIMITS! The traffic camera network here is huge. They have red light cameras, combined red light and speed cameras, speed cameras and point to point (distance~speed over time) cameras (on some freeways). There are even clandestine mobile speed cameras placed in ordinary looking late model cars which park on roadsides to catch drivers out. The tolerance for being overspeed is 3km/h ...that's about the width of your speedometer needle. You have to drive with one eye on your speedometer and one eye on the traffic. The authorities say it is to promote safety BUT we all know it generates a lot of revenue so, really, it is a voluntary tax...speed and you'll pay for it. Most locals are now used to it but visitors can find it hard. Speed limits (and signs) are in km/h, not MPH...so be careful. The lowest speed limit is 30km/h (rare...more often 40) and the highest speed allowed on SOME freeways is 110km/h. Signage is pretty good...some areas have electronically variable signs...keep your eyes peeled. School zones have variable speed limits around them and these are strictly enforced. If you get a ticket don't think you can fly home and ignore it. The traffic office will bill the hire care company and they will take the fine out of your credit card...sadly. 3/ People are friendly to tourists...most people will help you out if you are lost. Service stations will have a traffic map book (called a "Melways" after the publisher's name) that you can have a quick look at. At service stations most are self-serve. You pay after filling your tank except late night where some stations will require you to pay first. Police are friendly...they do NOT have their hands on a pistol when approaching your car (very few handguns here). If you are stopped, stay in your car...they will come to you. They will ask for your licence first. If you have an international permit show it to them WITH your home country licence. If you are a tourist and make a silly mistake you will probably find they will tell you what you've done wrong and let you go on your way. This does not apply to being well over the speed limit or DUI. You can be stopped and breath tested/drug tested at any time without due cause...be aware of that. 4/ Is Melbourne safe to walk around? Daytime...most definitely. Night time as well but keep your wits about you. Like any big city we have our share of criminals. 5/ Can you bargain in the shops? Not in department stores or many smaller stores. In electronics/camera retailers most definitely! Finally...the big thing tourists get wrong (which is mentioned in the video) we drive on the same side of the road as in the UK. Many tourists have been caught out by this. Listen to what the car rental company tells you...they will often give you a leaflet explaining the basic rules. When crossing a street look to the RIGHT, then left then right again before crossing. That's about it...enjoy your stay.

I have lived in Melbourne for more than 50 years and I think your review was fairly accurate and balanced, just like to make a few small additions. Winter 9 months, NO. it starts to get a little cool from mid May and warms up mid September, mid winter 10 deg C is as cold as it gets daytime. Getting around city, you forgot to mention bicycles. Melbourne is bicycle friendly although you are required to wear a helmet. You mentioned water and beer but forgot wine. Victoria has many great wineries less than 2 hr drive from the CBD, and you can buy many excellent quality wines cheaply. And finally, Speedos are called “Budgie smugglers”.

So another thing to add.... Melbourne is a nanny state with all of its cameras? That's the whole of Australia. Also ketchup and tomato sauce are different, it's to do with the sweetness of the sauce. I feel standard American coffee consists of franchised Starbucks stores so people may not be familiar with coffee shops that actually care more about the quality.

Good job overall. Summer gets hot but does not stay hot day after day. It is mild and short compared to US South. Melbourne is very dry. Even when it rains, it is nothing compared to US. (Melbourne averages 650 mm or 25.5 inches. Little Rock, AR got 3 times that: over 1803 mm 71 inches last year). Traffic downtown is terrible, especially through business hours. Trams are free in city and plentiful. Walking is fun with much to see. Bourke St on Sunday has street performers. Stroll the Yarra on either side. The people are friendly, but not as engaging as in US down South. The architecture bears mentioning, especially at Docklands. Considering how large a city Melbourne is, the crime is low in comparison to US. Currency has changed. US dollar worth more than Australian dollar now. Us credit card and pay no transaction fee. ATMS may charge fees. Tasmania flight just over an hour away. Phillips Island tours from Melbourne. Large international airport in Melbourne. There is a lot to see in Melbourne. Lot of Asian immigrants and Asian food. Victoria Market is a must, but it is closed on Monday. Wednesday night international foods. Tap water is fine. It takes more than water to make beer. Europe is light years ahead of Australia there. Decent wines here though. I recommend them instead.

I lived in Melbourne for 5 years but aside from pronunciation most of this is accurate. The only thing that stood out to me is that most stores in my experience opened at 8am or 9am. Not 10am that would be quite late for a store to open. Everything else seems spot on though.

Adelaide was definitely quaint and quiet :). I liked the city center with the university, river, and shopping streets. I didn't like that all the stores closed at 5pm on Sunday including grocery stores. The airport was good and super close to the city which was nice.

To add Queen Vic market is also open nights, generally Wednesdays but many more nights through the summer months, great place to try out all sorts of foods, viet, indian, italian, ukranian, aussie, sweet, savoury and everything in between... But it fills up quick and youll be waiting quite a while for food from 730-9 so make sure to scope it out early if you're hungry to try a few different things. If you enjoy you're drinking you're in luck with melbourne, do the tram bar crawl, start at one end of the city at a bar and have a drink, then get on a tram and make your way down the line :) And you're right about coffee here :) Plenty of cafes and coffee shops in alley ways that have some amazing coffees
