QUEEN VICTORIA MARKET (and reunited with Blueberry) 

Theres nothing American about the 'American Doughnuts', the name comes from the original owners buying the recipe off a German man in 1950s, but it wasnt the right time to sell 'German' anything so they hopped on the trendy post war americana name, even though youd only find this style of doughnuts in central europe originally

You guys are just like a cosy cup of hot chocolate 😊 Glad you are back and can't wait to see all the sights you see as you complete your lap. Such an epic adventure still ahead. Enjoy every minute ❤

That is an ambitious amount of driving you wish to do in the next 2 months, roughly 10000 kilometres

Look at you guys... Ms. One-handed Egg Cracker and Mr. No Jack Needed Oil Change, well done on both! Wishing you safe driving and wonderful adventures.

The Adelaide Central market is undergoing a $400 million redevelopment. When you visited two months ago they had already closed sections of it including the market arcade and international food court. I have visited both and the Queen Victoria is larger in terms of footprint and has a section setup as a flea market with vendors selling clothes, souvenirs and other random items. Adelaide central market is primarily a food and produce market.

No Wilson's Prom!!! 🙉 Such a nice day trip even on a sunny, cold, winter day! People often forget Canberra is only 149km from Bateman's Bay, that whole area the Australian Alps meet the sea (by Aussie distance standards!).

Hi guys. You need to see Jervis Bay Turn right at Canberra and take the Kings Highway to Batemans Bay then left up to Ulladulla then thru to Huskisson (Jervis Bay) Dolphins!!

Hi and welcome back to Australia. Excited to see more content. Just to add to the many suggestions….. the coastline heading north at this time of year is in Whale migration mode. One of the best locations to view them from land for FREE is Port Stephens NSW. As with anything to do with nature some days are better than others. With 40,000 whales streaming past, the busiest time is over the next month or so. Would love to show you the best vantage spots. The area also has the biggest coastal sand dunes in the southern hemisphere. Also free to walk on if your up for a trek 😅 pm me if you’re up for a free day. Happy to show you around

Cooking roo is like cooking venison, because it's so lean. Seared in a very hot pan is often preferred, and cooked rare. You'll get away with medium rare if you have a descent cut, I used to even make roo kebabs. It can taste gamey, however I've had pieces that tasted like the best beef steak ever, and you could cut it with a butter knife. Other pieces turn to rubber. I think the problem is you can't choose the age and sex of the animal, or what cut, so it's a lottery.

Just thinking about the Blueberry. Great car, but do promise you'll get a proper mechanic check-out and advisory before you leave North Queensland? Some of the attractions are on rough roads and you wouldn't want to have to sell her in a damaged condition. They say you can do the Top End without an SUV, but show your itinerary to somebody who knows, for our peace of mind. You're experienced travellers, I'm sure you've encountered such challenges before.

Loving the new intro logo ❤

Tia is never happier than when she is stuffing her face! Love it! Best travel blog out there! 🙃

So glad you decided to head inland....it will give you another dimension of Australia's diversity....one which few travellers get to enjoy as they tend to stick to the coast and the more touristy destinations....Hopefully there's enough snow to have a slide or 2....but it is early in the season. Watch out for those Canberra mornings....bbbrrrr...

Definitely give the roo a go. Healthy eating. As others have said, do not overcook it. I like to slice it and have a Thai salad type thing. Fresh herbs etc. Use fillet if possible. Slightly more expensive but worth it. Or you can get meatballs. Make a pasta. Try em both. Love the videos. Safe travels

I’m a little nervous about your plans to travel around the top end of Australia in Blueberry. Hopefully it makes the journey but there are not as many cities and major towns along that route, especially once you hit the Northern Territory. The top end of Western Australia has a few mining towns dotted around the place but that’s it. Will be a great adventure. Fingers crossed.

I guess your burek was the Turkish börek - flaky filo pastry with filling. They’re wonderful!

Welcome back to Australia ❤ The two of you are a gorgeous couple and it’s awesome to watch your journey. I was always hoping you’d come through or close to my home town and l got my wish. Your friends place is only 10 minutes away from where l live so that made my day seeing a neighbouring town on your channel. Enjoy the rest of your time here and be safe.

Cook the kangaroo on the grill but don’t overcook it.. it will turn into leather.. best way is try it at a restaurant that way you will have the idea on how to Cook it for yourself

Go to a restaurant to eat Kangaroo. I love it with Quongdon sweet sauce. I would eat it as fillet strips as needs to be cooked quick on high heat. I have also had it as a stir fry. Kangaroo is sooo tasty and good for you.

With Kangaroo, go steak. You can find fillets in the supermarket. It’s a very lean cut of meat so medium rare with plenty of salt is the way to go. It doesn’t taste gamey to me, it’s similar to lamb or grass fed beef, just leaner. You could also go for sausage (aka Kanga Bangas). They normally have it seasoned and spiced up that any gaminess is covered up. It’s pretty average in a burger. Two more meats to add to your plate would be emu and crocodile. Glad you’re going the inland route, there are a lot of great little towns, cute rest stops (e.g. Dog on the Tuckerbox in Gundagai). Do you know about Australia’s Big Things? We have a bunch of random oversized statues/sculptures of things (Big Lobster, Big Pineapple, Big Koala, etc.) and a few will be coming up on your route so keep an eye out for them/look them up ahead.

WELCOME BACK TO AUSTRALIA!!!🎉 BLUEBERRY!So great to see you both reunite with BlueBerry!. Cant wait for your ongoing adventures... Great video as always!. Looking forward to the next one. 😊

Great idea to go inland route during winter! Stay safe

You guys need to start selling merch , like Blueberry on a t shirt or Tia for scale

You guys have to come to Cairns! It's the best place in Australia, has the Great Barrier Reef and Rainforest. And the best climate is now. You won't he disappointed. Safe travels guys. Will shout you both dinner if you come.

As a kid I used to get 1/2 dozen steamed dim sims with soy sauce. Best dim sims in my life❤

almost ALL our fruit veg and meat (all food) is grown in australia.

Canberra is cold as winter is here go to the arboretum and see the bonsai i have been here 75 years travelled a lot home is home but theres an out door life here enjoy you wonderful aspect of australia dont leave yet as theres so much natural beauty to see

Although you’ve probably left alps just prior to winter is a great time to walk to top of Australia’s highest peak, Mt Kosciuszko. Easy walk

Whilst you are travelling in the Victorian countryside you will find an AFL football game in just about every town on Saturdays. No crowds.

If you are still around Jindabyne happy to give you a room for the night

My guess is the Adelaide claim of 'largest market' is 'largest covered market'. As you see Victoria Markets are bigger in area but not under one roof.

I enjoy watching your Videos a lot.You Guys are such a Blessing on RU-vid

There is another sport Australian's and New Zealanders are very passionate about, Rugby league..it's the game I grew up living and breathing,and the reason my dad and I would travel to Sydney every year .it's known as the toughest sport on the planet to many and it's called the nrl 😉 knew you would miss blueberry ....get ready for Sydney traffic 🤯❤️👋🇳🇿NZ

It's a little warm this week so snow not much falling probally some at night usually in winter we get a warmer weak then a it changes to a south wind comes from Antarctica which brings much colder conditions ...once we got stuck in a blizzard on top of Mt Kosciuszko it allnight 8 hour to do 160klms across from one side to the other .thanks to the road grader that cleared a path for us...

Kangaroo meat is extremely low fat, super lean - so it is really really easy to overcook it and dry it out. Burgers or kangaroo tail stew are probably best for beginners.

Awesome to have you guys back in Oz. The markets look great. Totally understand not liking the crowds. I'm the same. I hate crowds myself. It's almost like a claustrophobic feeling for me. I use the mussel shell as a spoon to scoop up the juice as well as it's an awesome soup. Safe travels folks your videos are something to look forward to each week

Pretty sure every Wednesday night I think the vic markets transform into a cool street food night market

My husband and I will be in Cairns July 21 to 28 for vacation from Adelaide. I am American from Michigan and he is Australian. If you r up that way, we would to take you out for a lovely dinner.

The Queen Vic market is built on the site of the Old Melbourne cemetery

Gday again guys👋👋 A new flash & fresh intro 👍😎 When I saw Tia making those poached eggs, I was hoping you'd have them my favourite way...on butter & vegemite toast 😋 the eggs really cream up the vegemite & softens the bitterness. Though I love vegemite daily anyway 👍😁 Fair enough about the footy & crowd anxiety 😘 Though the MCG is on my bucket list to see Fremantle play at⚓ (or anyone really). But you can catch a game at Perths new Optus Stadium when you get back 'home' to sell Blueberry 😉 It's a brilliant stadium, with beautiful views of the Swan River & the city. The stadium surroundings are spot on too..& the pub 🍻🍷🥃 ..& you can climb & or zipline the Matagarup Bridge next to the stadium also. I'll even leave the house & go with you 😬..& educate you on Aussie Rules Footy 🙃 The atmosphere is really uplifting with the Freo crowd 💜🤍 ..just like Fremantle itself! 😉 Looking forward to the next episode 👍👍 ✌️♥️

I'm sure you have done more research than is shown in this video, but make sure that you really know what your plan is when you travel around the top part of Australia. Usually people travel by 4WD (SUV) up there, as opposed to a sedan, and it is wildly more...wild...than the places you have travelled before in AU. The nullarbor was remote, but largely just a long road. Northern Queensland, and the Northern Territory are legitimately jungle and bushland that you do not want to get into trouble in. And I'm sure that you know this, but crocodiles in the north are a real thing, not just a spooky story for tourists. If you visit any waterholes/rivers be aware that people die from crocodile attacks, and that they are an actual danger. Other than that, good luck!

Oh, so you're coming back to Perth via the north west of WA? If so, you should absolutely stop off in Exmouth and Coral Bay. Exmouth was an ex US military base which may interest you guys, but better still is the amazing gorges and canyons as well as the Ningaloo Reef and of course swimming with the whale sharks. Lots of places to stay there as well.

You guys are awesome when in Canberra I hope you get a chance to visit the The Australian War Memorial.

I believe those hot jam doughnuts are the originals (as in, no-one anywhere had done hot, jam-filled doughnuts before). I haven’t had one from the Vic Market in years, but I think of them from time to time and keep planning on getting some when I’m in the city. They are amazing! If you’re visiting the market, do yourself a favour and get some!

Enjoy your trip, Australia is a big place 😃

So glad you guys use decent cameras and of course great editing Keep up the good work

I bought those possum fleece mittens when I visited Melbourne in 2011 and I still wear them every winter, they're really nice

"You don't want 10 doughnuts?" I like the way Tia rolls!!! Great job as usual! Safe travels

Love your vlog guys and i love that you wanted to see more of our beautiful country. Im feeling a little sad for you being under a time constraint. The east coast has so many more small towns and because of the underlying geography, so many truly different landscapes im sorry that you wont get to experience them properly due to your heavy driving schedule. Id urge you to rethink driving Blueberry across the top. Its very remote and hard going and not really something to be done lightly even in a kitted out 4-wheel drive. Please connect with locals who have done the trek, especially about provisioning with supplies and safety equipment. Take care you guys and enjoy the rest of your trip!

Melbourne is famous for its coffee. One of my Chinese students worked as a Barista in Melbourne, in an Australian "Travel & Work Scheme" for foreigners. She worked hard but also got so see a lot of Australia and learn Australian English. Bonza!

Us Melburnians will ALWAYS suggest going to an AFL game at the MCG, which is the largest stadium in the country and simply a great place to see our national game. If large noisy crowds are an issue for you them maybe try to check out a game in either Sydney or Gold Coast. The Greater Western Sydney Giants play their home games at a smaller stadium that seats about 20,000 but they rarely get anywhere near that many, or the Gold Coast Suns have a stadium that seats about 35,000 but once again they struggle to pull a large crowd. Either of those would be ideal if you happen to be in either location when a game is scheduled. It's also best if you reach out to someone who follows the game and get them to tag along so they can explain the basics of the game to you, otherwise you may not appreciate the experience as much as it will be a VERY foreign game to you.

Cant wait for the next one. Enjoy the alps

I love how aghast Tia looks when Cheveyo might not want 5 donuts hahah. I fully support that choice, road trip snacks!

Loved the market. Thanks for taking us along.

Welcome back!

Thanks, so happy you’re doing the alpine route 💯🤔

You guys are having the best adventure, stay well and drive safe

The coast and inland is beautiful up the whole east coast, so make sure you get a bit of both! In my opinion, this is the stretch to take your time on. So much to see! The NSW south coast is especially beautiful, my favourite for sure. Save the long drives for the top end.

The Queen Victoria Market (also known colloquially as Vic Market or Queen Vic) is a major landmark in the central business district (CBD) of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Covering over seven hectares (17 acres), it is the largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere.

I noticed when u arrived at the alpine region, there was a glimpse of what looked like Lake Jindabyne.! Interesting fact, the original town of Jindabyne is actually at the bottom of the lake.!

cook kangaroo steak on high heat no more than medium rare or it will be tough due to no fat in the muscles, cut it against the grain. it's most similar to venison if you wanted something to compare it to. the tail has fat but it's usually cooked in the coals of a fire.

yep these guys are adorable

Nicely filmed guys. Enjoying some creative shots, and thanks for showcasing my home city of Melb and Victoria. Great job.

Great to see you both back in Aus! Enjoy.

I did the walk up Mount Kosciusko in February and saw a bit of snow still. Gorgeous day walk and not too difficult.

The way she looks at you. She’s so in love. 😊

14:29 You've just revealed the exact location of your accommodation in the Dandenongs. It is at ... Very pleasant town. Just "around the corner" from us.

Start with Kangaroo sausages from Coles or Woolworths and progress to kangaroo steak , served medium. It is gamey like venison

Glad you got to see Monbulk and the surrounding area. Love living out there.

South Melbourne market is amazing too!

Sitting happily watching the next episode then all of a sudden up pops the almost 90 year old family fishmongers stall of friends

Good call, go and ski for winter!

Instead of the AFL, try an NRL game in Sydney!

Absolutely can't wait til you gorgeous souls hit The Top End!!! It is....Real

Great choice going inland! The coast gets lots of the glory but the inner parts of Australia (or 'the bush ') is so beautiful 😍

The best way to eat kangaroo steak is rare or seared. It's low fat content makes it tough to eat if you cook it any longer. I highly recommend getting kanga bangers, which are sausages made with kangaroo meat and flavoured with Australian bush spices (this is my favourite way to eat kangaroo)

Thanks for another bright and interesting vlog. Never been able to visit Queen Vic markets, so colourful and varied. Safe travels for those long hours on the road.😃

I can't eat my brekky until i watch you guys. This is my saturday routine now.

This made me nostalgic, I used to live across the road from Queen Victoria Market when I was in my 20s, a crazy share house. It was nice to see it again through fresh eyes.

I can't believe that Blueberry was in my hood the whole time! Loving your videos guys!

To avoid crowds the best way to see a match would be to go to a local game and most towns have a game on every Saturday at most ovals

They are the best doughnuts ever, so glad you got to taste them :) Love Melbourne town x

Check condition of all rubber hoses on blue berry if to soft replace it and fan belts ..carry some good tape just in case..

welcome home guys .

I can’t believe you passed through Glen Waverley. I used to live there about 2ish months ago. Also I nearly woke up my roommate yelling Dandenong Ranges when you mentioned the mountains you were near.

Welcome back to Australia xx

I've realised that you've updated your intro. It looks way nicer, love it❤

I remember getting those hot jam donuts as a child with my grandmother, lovely reminder for me to go back and try it again!

Cook the Kanga with lot's of onions, strew it with a small amount of water so the water boils away and put plenty of olive oil in with it so when the water boils away it will cook a little bit in the oil; a rice cooker is ideal. Kangaroo meat is very dry, not gamey actualy quite tasty if you cook it right.

Best roo I’ve had was a filet cooked medium … seared on sides with native spices they used pepper berry crust on one side.

Lovely to see you at Vic Market. A great market that we Melbournians love. The part you may have missed was the Delicatessen area. Great that you tried the Bourek, mussels and the doughnuts. LoL. Safe journeying!

i have been loving watching your videos! i live in the dandenong ranges. i hope you enjoyed your stay here. ❤

I was just at the Donut Festival at queen vic market today! Love it there

You need to visit the markets in Fremantle. I look forward to your reaction. Enjoy

Please put Sydney fish markets on your list for Sydney as well as Paddington markets (NOT to be confused with Paddy’s markets which is absolute crap!!) ❤ Also you can go to an AFL game in Sydney.

Non-Aussie here, but I'll stil weigh in on kanguru meat. I've had it as a burger and it was really similar to beef. The host told me, that kanguru is one of the more sustainable meats because it's local and while alive, kangurus don't use up as many ressources as other animals do.

Best thing about all your videos is just the amazing connection you have. Nothing like young love. Enjoy 😊

Don't miss the Big Trout in Adaminaby while you are in the Southern Highlands. Nor of course the Big Merino in Goulburn after you pass through Canberra.

I just came back from Sydney (Vivid light festival, combined with a business trip), next month I’ll be in Melbourne for again a business and holidays combo. Definitely gonna go Victoria market! Great video!

Your friend Simon lives in the town I grew up! I saw the sign for Monbulk and had to comment!! So neat that you visited such a tiny unknown town in the Dandenong Ranges 🤩
