Sydney or Melbourne: tough choice! by Dudosaur
Hi! Which city would you recommend for a newcomer in Australia, Sydney or Melbourne? Which one offers the best opportunities? I personally prefer Sydney for its natural beauty, but maybe other forum members would favour Melbourne? According to this ...
I come from Sydney but I absolutely LOVE Melbourne and, quite frankly, am tired of these combative discussions that pit Sydneysiders with Melbournites. Sydney and Melbourne have BOTH been nominated as the most liveable cities in the world, are BOTH ... Read More

perth or sydney??? by johanvdw7
Which city do you recommend and why?? Perth or Sydney? :-)
I know I am biased (a very proud Sydney-sider) but I have to say that comparing Sydney to Perth is like comparing New York to Montgomery (in Alabama)! Sydney is a large world class, cosmopolitan city in Australia (with a population of nearly 6 ... Read More
