*great vid. we r melbourne. the city by the yarra. but one thing you missed we r the sporting capital of the world.luv you melbourne allways will. mon the victory

---

*You're welcome. I tried to cram in as much as I could and I'm glad if it resonates with people who have lived or stayed here and who are now overseas. Cheers. :-)

---

*Nice vid mate. Captures the atmosphere quite well. Born in Geelong but lived in Melbourne. Been a while since I was down under. Brings back nice memories. Thanks a lot.

---

*Again, I say you really sell my beautiful city really well. thank you. I am really enjoying watching your work. 3 videos down and lots more to go. Ta! 'gards SuperNan

---

*No worries. ;-)

---

*Thanks for the compliment mate. Some of the content is 2-3 years old, but most of it was done last year when I decided I was going to make a vid. I tried to include as many recognisable landmarks and places from in and around the CBD, but naturally there are some which I didn't include or simply overlooked. Regarding City Museum, it is the correct photo; the actual building is known as Old Treasury, and it is a lot smaller than Parliament. They are however both on Spring St. Cheers. :-)

---

*Ahhhh... old Treasury ! Of course ! :D

---

*Fantastic ! (but it looks like you have Spring St's Parliament house marked as "City Museum"...) This is one of the BEST vids I have seen on Melbourne !!! GREAT WORK !!!

---

*Cheers mate. Nice to get feedback and I'm glad you liked it.

---

*loved it, born and raised in Melbourne, haven't been down under for sometime so was good to see familiar places, thanks
