Why was white haven cancelled? We’re only going for a couple days so I’m trying to decide if I should book that first so we have a chance to go the next day if it doesn’t workout
These hotels make huge profits, if you're charging people over and above for something, then you need to provide a level of service that's adequate to that Expecting to get what you pay for is not 'whinging', which I assume is what you meant by your misspelling. If you're looking for me to lie, perhaps my channel isn't for you.
Not to mention that you are alone and your pool is big, if your neighbours would have been a family and they pay the same as you did and got that tiny swimming pool that would have been really disappointing.
Melbourne has gone downhill over the years - I’m so glad I left there. Its “liveability” has declined a lot over the last decade or more and the weather is really lousy.
Bluebird, would like to know who owns that & their association with Caribou (properties) people, because MELS (a coming together point for locals & visitors alike for 40 + years) It seems mels.had the rug pulled from under them (the heritage building that is now bluebirds) for a posh place that would pay higher rent, wld bills (where mels was put) was a skanky joint owned by caribou properties as I recall. Mels in that old building WAS much of what made banff, we used to go there at any given time of day, queues on the street at 7 am for breakfast, a lunch special having just landed at calgary a few hours before, after a transatlantic flight& to just unwind in a friendly place was to walk to mels for a blue cheese burger & some coffee before the jet-lag wiped us out, ..as wild bills had stairs to climb I wonder what happened to all those local OAP's like the 80+ year old Canadian royal air force WW2 pilot who used to walk fdom the traders on the other side of the bridge (by the first nations museum) for his lunch, mels was accessible to all by its walk in location, wheelchairs, sports injured, broken legs, baby buggies, I anticipate caribou's forcing mels out for bluebirds has had a massive knock on effect in the community. (+ notably you didn't visit it on this video either, ..case in point)
I think I mentioned the prices in the video. I would only go all inclusive as it's so expensive per meal otherwise. I'm not sure about excursion prices but it's probably up on their website.
Your country provides complete integrity with its simple cultural structure, healthy, good and friendly people, the broadcast flow is very natural and understandable, thank you.❤❤
@@amelia.explores Did you ever see what I was talking about with Elsa? I guess millionaires want to be comfortable too. I hate that a lot of people give her grief over it. It doesn't affect them in anyway. I'm sure it's probably from other countries. It's wierd how others see what the locals don't!
Thanks for the video! I loved it! We always have wanted to go to Australia and after watching this I'd say we're ready. The Gold Coast is definitely where we'd want to be. I was glad to see you went to Burleigh and Byron. I've been watching a lot of videos from there and I love how laid back it is. In one of the videos from Burleigh, just walking around the town I saw about ten girls going barefoot. 👣 Just going in and out of the shops. Love, love the vibe going on there! The mall at Surfer's Paradise was amazing. Thanks again for sharing!
I sure will! Got to ask, haha what did you think of the casual feel of Burleigh and Byron? Did you like it and would you ever feel comphy walking around barefoot? I'm already a barefooter here in the States so, that's a big YES for me! Lol. The vibe is awesome... Love how people are doing what they like.
@wdwbound3298 I think byron is more casual than burleigh. I don't know if I could ever go barefoot but it's an interesting idea! I'm back in byron later this year so I'll try it out!. I don't think you will stick out being barefoot, everyone seems to be. Just be careful of how hot the floor can be 😂
@@amelia.explores Lol... I'll be careful for sure. I'm pretty much used to doing it so I think I should be fine. I just really love that it's a normal thing over there and nobody judges you. I won't be doing what you saw that guy doing... Coming out of the restroom like that!! 🤔 That's where I draw the line... Haha. Glad to hear you would give it a try. When are you planning on being back in Byron? I love the market there as well.
Excellent video of Brisbane. Unfortunately many people from overseas think that the only place in Australia is Sydney but it's a very expensive place to travel and there are so many other states and territories to visit. Well done.
I live in Melbourne and agree Stalignites the restaurant is overrated. Also puffing billy tourist trap. Fitzroy and Brunswick and Stkilda are cool places
You really should go to Western Australia I am sure you would enjoy it. Thank you for your content I agree with some of your comments on Sydney although you can get a poor meal anywhere. Personally I don't understand the spoilt comment.
Hamilton Island used to be such a pretty place, but sadly once somewhere gets "discovered" it's downhill from there & the crowd type changes. There are many other islands & beachside towns that are stunning, chill & with fabulous food.
Crosonts.. just go to Coles 3 for about 3$ l only eat crosonts with ham and cheese in it..city food is not that good you do have pick the right resterants you might as well get a pub meal or maccas
Thank you so much for your video. Tourism and migration are so important to Australia as most Australians work in service related industries. Australians are also great travellers and work hard to improve the experience of being in Australia. Please come back and also keep promoting all the great places that you travel.
Glad you enjoyed Melbourne. Best city in Australia (and I've lived in a few!) Stalactites is a part of the old Greek quarter in the CBD. It's an institution, but definitely not flash 😅 Plenty of other much nicer places to try. Next time, try the Yarra Valley wineries instead of Puffing Billy, and venture outside the CBD to an inner suburban shopping & cafè strip like Brunswick Street 😊 The Twelve Apostles are a fair drive from Melbourne; best to stay overnight at a seaside town like Torquay or Apollo Bay.
Nice CD collection. Shame you didn't have time to make it to any of the 100's of rock n roll venues we have. Maybe next time. Melbourne is considered by many international artists as the music capital of the world.
@@amelia.exploresGod. There's so many. I have 30-40 within 20 min walk from my house. Some of the ones around the city I go to are: Esplanade Hotel, Tote Hotel, Stay Gold, Retreat Hotel, Northcote Social Club, Croxton Bandroom, HiFi Bar, Cherry Bar, Gem Hotel, Bendigo Bar, Lulie St Tavern, Last Chance Rock n Roll Bar, Memo Music Hall, Old Bar, Bar Open, Evelyn Hotel, St Kilda Bowling Club, but that's just the tip. Obviously there are bigger places that international bands will play at too like KISS (or Taylor Swift) at the MCG/Melbourne Cricket Ground that seats 100,000 or like QATSA @the outdoor SydneyMyerMusicBowl, but little venues like The Gem Hotel (free) will have surprise acts like J.Mascous (Dinosaur Junior) solo... Plus there's heaps of micro breweries that have bands like Bonneyrig Brew House. So, so many. We're spoilt for choice. Maybe look at a 12 month work visa for next time so you can see the less touristy stuff.. 🎶🎸🍻 keep on rockin 🎧🎵🔅
Australia is a perfect example of what the British are capable of when they put their mind to it. Hope you enjoy my country and get to like it. Have fun and enjoy it. CHEERS.
@@amelia.exploresYep, the Gold Coast is overrated (I can say that because I'm from Queensland originally!) Plenty of nicer, more relaxed beachside areas in NSW and Qld to explore.
Melbourne is awesome but finding all the best food and best places to visit takes time depending what you're into. Exploring Melbourne is a major part of the fun though. Exploring Victoria is fun too.
Actually as a former Tasmanian and now resident of Sydney, I am very concerned about the lack of intellectual intelligence in Melbourne! Followers achieve nothing great, real, imaginative or creative! 🤔
@@junebreheny7658 this person is a serial Melbourne basher, she seems to have a real chip on her shoulder when it comes to Australia's most livable city. I think the 'intellectual intelligence' of Tasmania may have risen slightly and Sydney's took a dive when she moved from one to the other.
Your video about Melbourne was very informative for a tourist. Well done ! I live in Melbourne and I love it. My parents emigrated to Australia in the 1950 from the UK and all of their children are so glad that they did, are thankful and feel blessed. Australia is a wonderful country to live in.
When you coming over to Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 you will love it I'm also from the UK 🇬🇧 originally came to Australia in 85 love ❤️ it here if you need any help or support let me know kind regards Peter 😊
I watched this because I’m thinking about returning to Australia after living in California for a few decades. Not sure where I want to be - Sydney where I grew up or Melbourne where it’s less glitzy and a more relaxed pace of life. Liked your honest opinion about things. Amazed you did so much despite jet lag.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I also went to brisbane (there's another video) personally I liked that more than both melbourne and Sydney but everyone's taste is different.
