Has anybody had success with cold approaching in Australia?

I've seen a crap tonne of videos from Europe/USA that seem successful with a fair share of rejections. It's made me wonder if it works in Australia.

I've honestly never done it in Australia and never met any guys who've done let it. Let alone hear about women talk about guys cold approaching them in the day. I've only done it on holiday in Bangkok, Thailand where women are more open and receptive.

In Australia I feel we're less receptive and closed off to strangers approaching them. Anybody had any success?

Any good locations (specifically in Melbourne) where it works?
