Visit Melbourne Ad

[Jezatplay]

@titoindo

0:07 is outside the GPO

0:44 is a garden in the grounds of St Patrick's Cathedral

1:12 is at the top of the Melbourne Town Hall - there is no bar there as far as I know

[DoctorInsanovic]

As cities go, Melbourne is a really nice place to live. It beats rivals like Sydney easily on that count. But I'll be honest; unless you're visiting family, don't come here as a tourist. There are much better places to go and things to see in Australia as an overseas tourist than Melbourne. Compared to Australia's other cities and many attractions, Melbourne really doesn't offer much. Don't get me wrong. Best city in Australia to live, but the most dismally boring place to go for a holiday.

[humanradical]

I love Melbourne, it is where I lost my old self and found a side of me that I never thought existed. I love this city from the bottom of my heart.

Be well Melbourne, you'll always have a special place.

[Max5941]

why do many of the buses in Melbourne have blue interior lights?

[KenanVideos]

Does anyone know the name of the ad (I think it's South Australian) where she gets knocked out by a random ball of wool?

[edmondopowell]

are there many irish living in melbourne?

[culturevulture123]

I LOVE the cinematography in this ad. GAH.

[titoindo]

Hi, i really like it a lot. and i want to take pictures in those location

can anyone advise me where is the exact location for this ads?

0:07 where is this alley?

0:44 where is this garden?

1:12 where is this bar?

thank you so much!

[troysfreakinawesome]

@titoindo melbourne, melbourne..and..melbourne

[ConnorMichaelParker]

@titoindo I know that 0:44 is a courtyard in a church garden north-east of the CBD. The lower level is inaccessible to the general public.

0:07 could be outside the GPO, but Melbourne has so many heritage buildings that I could easily be wrong.

As for the bar, I have no idea, sorry.

[Snooi100]

That dress she is wearing... does anybody no where to get hold of it ?????

[bels10]

I am appalled to learn that the soundtrack to this ad comes from the USA, As much as I like it, there is plenty of local talent to showcase!

[Whicol2]

@bels10 I'm more appalled that they chose to use a song about abortion for a tourism ad, regardless of what country it comes from! Just a strange pairing, I think...

[songsrme3]

song?

[petorasourases]

@songsrme3

the song is "sprout and the bean" by joanna newsom

[purplemonkey51]

does anyone know the name of this song?

Please, I really like it :)

[LollyBabe808]

whats this song called???

[petorasourases]

@LollyBabe808 the song is Sprout and the Bean by joanna newsom

[PrincessSakuno]

i wanna go melbourne, nsw is truly boring, there's is nothign special about the bridge and the weird house.

[lauramoodyy]

I'm moving to Melbourne next year! I absolutely can't wait! I've only been there once, for only one day... but I'm already in love! :)

[s47t47e47v47e47]

I love Melbourne now after being there for just 4 days. With its 'vintage'esque' time freeze, it suspends itself and remains the nucleus of a now dying eloquent and nostalgic lifesyle....

[gamble7man]

I live in Melbourne and I think it is the best city in this Country. But Melbourne does not have any world known landmarks, meaning the overrated shit hole of Sydney receives all the attention.

[myvistahosting]

@gamble7man

Melbourne has many world known landmarks and one on which is the first in Australia to have a world listing. the NSW Government spend more than 6 billion per year trying to promote there city, it's not world known because it's sydney or because of landmarks, they spend so much money to showcase that shit house and bridge, they run TV ads overseas while the Victorian Government doesn't do this!

[roloug95]

@gamble7man thats exactly the reason they get more attention, the people there are nicer, less arrogant and just don't give a shit like you uptight twats

[roloug95]

@gamble7man thats not the only reason Sydney gets all the attention and it obviously isn't a shithole

[Thorcurry]

whats the name of the model some1 ...cant find her ne where??

[Juramundie]

having seen melbournes lanes and arcades in real life, it beats the pictures, and they are truely stunning and amazing, especially block place and the royal arcade.

[cosimawriter83]

having lived all across the world, NY, London, Berlin, Sydney , Melbourne I must say Melbourne is one of the most special places to be, and you hear that alot overseas.

Energetic, creative, sophisticated, laid back, so much to do but has an interesting edgy side.

The opera house and bridge to market Sydney is old and boring, a decline in tourism after the Olympics and few sporting events and festivals no one really cares about outside of Sydney would indicate Melbourne s the place to be.

[Eagle021001]

Woo Melbourne great city to live in, but always come prepaird never know when its going to be sunny, raining or even windy.

[y3ahyeah]

does anyone know this song name?

[cranbourne69]

Sprout & The Bean - Joanna Newsom

[shauny83]

I have been thinkin of moving there from Perth. I just got back from Melbourne and I love the lifestyle. Good Move???

[Juramundie]

might be one of the best decisions you ever make

[rlaraa]

sydney's city is chinatown, not that its bad, its messy

[philphie]

what do you mean sydney's city is chinatown? chinatown isn't a city, its not even a suburb.

[Eagle021001]

Chinatown is a district if that its just a area, you cant call a city china town.

[childy8]

MELBOURNE HOME TOWN

[1707niklas]

why does there have to be competition? why can't australia have two or more great cities? i've lived in both, they're both amazing.

[Colbs333]

whats this song?

[philphie]

sprout and the bean by joanna newsom

[jowan1993]

who was the maker of this film?

[tokalat]

absolutely love Melbourne, such a great place for fashion and culture. Can't wait to check out the night life next time i'm there. I think this ad is classy and smart, what melbourne is all about.

[bigchrisspender]

Sydneysiders are so blindsided if you ask me, many havent even been here. Sydney's beaches close to the city are great thats about it. If you were born in Melbourne and have a social network here you love it- and to be honest ppl, facilities, navigation, events etc are so much nicer. Enjoy your city beaches for the 3 months of the year that you can Sydney because theres not much more up there in that cardboard city of yours

[zoharadesert]

Get off your high horse flaunting that Melbourne is somewhat better than Sydney. I just came back from Melbourne and it's nice but has similarities to Syd. If you were born in Sydney and had a social network here you too would love it rather than labelling it as a cardboard city. Beaches and harbour are not at all what I love about Sydney. I think you are a hypocrite because you obviously are blindsided to Sydney's good characteristics and are too busy kissing Melbourne's ass.

[Toyo4255]

sydney just seems like a cross between brisbane and melbourne...only its a bigger city than both.

[powerrangerdementia]

The singer is Joanna Newsom.

The song is 'Sprout and the Bean'

[y3ahyeah]

who's the singer?

[zedmelody]

very lovely ad!

[heartofnight12]

it's a beautiful ad. the concept is cool.

i think this one is way better than the one they show on tv now...although the music for the current ad really suits.

[scribey34]

my god, melbourne is littered with dodgy artsy tourists with their coloured wool balls trailing all over town

[baller4life4eva]

this ad is beautiful

[MajorPain2103]

Shocking music

[Juramundie]

We get the point you hate melbourne ya dickhead. stop posting how much you hate melbourne on other vids.

Melbourne rocks!!!!!! better then sydney

[applesweeter]

I hate Melbourne!!

[MissSnoopi]

i live in sydney on the northern beaches. SYDNEY IS NOT JUST A CITY, THE CITY IS ONLY A SMALL PART OF IT!!!!!!!!!!! gawd

[manolobayonas]

anyone know who the song is by?

[Schaefer1610]

it's by Joanna Newsom! =) I love it!

[aldogga1]

I live in Sydney & it's dirty and disgusting. I'm moving to Melbourne in a month, to a place called Carlton. What's this suburb like?

Melbourne looks awesome!Can't wait...

[MissSnoopi]

I live in sydney, but it definitely is NOT dirty and disgusting. The northern beaches is one of the most beautiful places in sydney, but ppl just think "oh, sydney is a filthy city." its not as good as melbourne, but its not all city like a lot of ppl think.

[watercolour]

Sorry aldogga1, but I love Sydney, which is the most dynamic, happening city of Australia, unlike boring Melbourne where nothing ever happen. XD

[watercolour]

ok, maybe melbourne is ok, but still, sydney is better.

[spectrelives]

Obviously you haven't lived in Melbourne and had much of a social life here to be able to say that. Melbourne is vibrant and gorgeous and very alive every night of the week, with more festivals and events than you can poke a stick at, running all the time, 20 cafes on every corner, clubs and bars swarming throughout the city, a gorgeous skyline, best shopping in Australia, trams and heritage buildings, culture, massive stadium events, music industry as big as Sydney's, film industry almost as.

[watercolour]

well, as i said, maybe melbourne is ok, but still, sydney is better. Sydney FTW! XDXD

[soorox]

Melbourne has way more major events all year round than what sydney has to offer! Oh Look! it's the Harbour Bridge & the oprah house *snap*snap*, lets go back on the plane now!

This ad actually shows about Melbourne and it's famous laneways and cafe's and gives you a feel of being in Paris but you are actually in Melbourne, and the obvious you can get lost in Melbourne, i know i have! ;) & the best thing about it is that you can discover moreof Melbourne!

[watercolour]

hahahaha soorox, i have been to melbourne, if u think melbourne is like paris u r totally misled by the ads XDXDXD

Melbourne's streets are planned using a simple grid system, if u still can get lost within it, u seriously need to improve ur sense of orientation, mwahahaha~~~ Sydney is the best, with its v nice cafes in the Rocks, Paddington where u can observe a lot of gay & les dating, huge casino in the star city where u can lost not only yourself but also all your money.

[PurpleJam22]

soorox wow... have you ever even been to paris? it is nothing like melbourne. Melbourne is a nice place, and so is sydney but if i hear one more person with the whole melbourne is more of a european city while sydney is more americanized then i will actually start to hate melbourne. Melbourne is not like europe. it is not paris. it is fuckin australia. deal with it. they're different cities some people prefer sydney and some people prefer melbourne. that doesn't mean one is better than the other

[Juramundie]

sor true!!! people remember sydney for the opera house and harbour bridge, thats it! Melbourne branches off in so many directions

[philphie]

that's like saying people remember Paris because of the Eiffel Tower, or London because of Buckingham Palace. the bridge and the opera house are icons, they're meant to have that effect. every city is beyond superficial but do people remember them for that? are you telling me people remember Melbourne because of the Melborune club? or some building in a Brack painting? no they remember Federation Square. when you refer to people as tourists then yes, tourists go to sight see not to go to live

[SuperDudeNotMan]

its really hard to get lost in melbourne if you have a map. But if you dont, you're pretty much screwed, unless you know it inside and out.

[philphie]

Melbourne is based on a Roman grid system, and the land is quite flat unlike Paris. when you're in Sydney blocks are raver uneven to go around elevated uneven areas like Paris. Sydney has Balmain and Newtown. i don't suggest Sydney is like Paris but i most certainly do say that Melbourne is nothing like Paris.

[philphie]

i'm from Sydney and let me tell you, Melbourne is definitely not a boring place if you're into the arts

[crackers95]

$3.1 billion desalination plant between Wonthaggi and Kilcunda sorry Melbourne is not the place to be

[jeremyocool]

does anyone know where that graffiti/wall mural is at 0:58 seconds??

[crazyoldwoman]

If you walk down DeGraves St through the really tight lane with the cafes, it's at the end before you enter a building (the one with the Foreign Language Bookshop), the cafes all keep their bins there. The cat graffiti has long since been covered though.

[VerticalXX]

does anyone know where the last location is the one where they meet on the building top?

[1707niklas]

pretty sure it's town hall on swanston st

[Juramundie]

Such a diverse city, better then Sydneys jumbled mess of skyscrapers, shitty bridge and crashed alien ships.

[ThePassenger80]

Lol Diverse is Sydney too.

[Skye940]

Yay!

I love this ad!

I'm so glad i live in Melbourne!

I've been to EVERY one of those places in the video i think....

[maxnsim]

could you pls tell me where the rooftop terrace is ie where the girl and boy meet, thanks

[guarana80]

I like this song but I hate Joanna Newsom.

[skyforest]

the music makes the ad

[kiwidud3]

can anyone resist not visting after watching this ad?

[FleurIsLostt]

I know, i sooooooo wanna go to melbourne

[Evandendoel]

Love this ad. I'm moving from Europe to Melbourne soon and a little nervous about it...seeing this makes me feel a whole lot better about it somehow! =D

[uarhara]

I don't know but i think taht holland is more niecer

[ThePassenger80]

Yes Holland is much more nicer.

[skipnese]

awesome ad. classy... arty... sexy :)

[AndreCharadia]

i love this ad too! its so creative

[hippiippi]

love this ad! our school did a mock skit of this ad lol.

Song's called Sprout and the Bean by Joanna Newsom

[hippiippi]

lol we rolled a massive red ball with some wool around the school

[bulletskies]

I love this ad. I wonder why they don't show it anymore.

[richmihi]

I love the song

[NaiveAmoeba]

I really like this advert, even if it is a bit pretentious. I also love Joanna Newsom... and that girl in it.

[Cumbrian1967]

Song Name?

[Francelator]

Nice, there's about the same one for Paris if u guys just type in Francelator you'll find it

[mesCheerios]

I love all the different coloured strings at the end.. hehe when they find them all tied together it's gonna be a long night

[nowaynoah]

Sydney, is massive you r.

[bjork4ever]

Beautifully shot commercial, loved it! <3

[musaera]

oh man i wish i could download this, the ad gives off a fantastic alice in wonderland vibe. i love seeing places i recignise

[Havencheese]

It's 'Sprout and the Bean' by Joanna Newsome.

Could you imagine an ad as abstract as this for the Great Barrier Reef or Sydney?

[musaera]

i dunno, i havent been to either. though i heard that its really quite possible to loose yourself in sydney

[stooge10101]

lol...there is no freakin way anyone can loose themself in sydney...it's hardly what you call a big city...

[wormy570]

It is a big city. Yes there are quite a few cities bigger but it's bigger than average. I'm in Canada at the moment and there is only one city bigger than it here (and only by 100,000). Only one in the states too.

So yeah, for people from smaller places Sydney's size can be quite overwhelming.
