Im from Melbourne and never been to Sydney, dont desire to either.
The entire Country is the best in the World but.... Sydney is a hole, Bogans reside in Brisbane, Morons Live in Adelaide, and Alcoholics shack up in Darwin, and Canberra is a cold Hole, with nothing.
Enjoy...
If you've never been to Sydney, don't knock it. You can't say shit about another city if you've never been there...
Sydney: Great City, but too many Lebs
Darwin: Alcoholics everywhere...Not neccesarily a bad thing...lol
Brisbane: Fantastic weather, great chicks, awesome beaches, but sadly, we do have bogans
Adelaide: Another great state, but sadly they don't get much recognition for it. Mad beaches down there too
Canberra: Capital of Australia, loads of history, but again, bogans reside there. Probably bogan capital...
Melbourne: I always say this, but do you remember when Morpheus showed Neo what the real world looked like? That's kinda what Melbourne looks like when it's cloudy/rainy...Which is basically everyday. They also have the second largest Greek population outside of Greece. On the plus side, hot chicks, great football (Go the Pies!) and fine pubs are in this city
Perth: Perth is beautiful. Very green, beautiful women, superb weather, top-class nudist beaches...The list can go on...It's just too bloody far away from everyone else...lol
There's the real list...Not that piece of shit BF2Craglyeye gave

Hey, Hey.... Get your facts right I said Sydney was a HOLE, and that Canberra is cold.
Ive been to Canberra, we had to run to the pub it was so cold and even then it was closed stand still there your likely to catch hypothermia.
Plus ill take the Greeks ahead of the Lebanese any day. No riots in melbourne. We also have a large Asian, Italian, and growing Sudenese population.
They are all welcome to the "FRIENDLY STATE"

still, who cares about the rest of australia he said he was moving to sydney, and he didnt ask how the rest of the country was, so why dont we give him all the ups and dows of sydney?

The problem with Melbourne is evident in what you just said...
They're not welcome in this country...FullstopThey are all welcome to the "FRIENDLY STATE"
Perth ftw its hot and cold

I live in Sydney, dont mind it..
Cost of living / relestate is abit high atm.
Weather doesnt bother me but it does get very hot but not so cold(cold weather doesnt bother me).
Plenty of work for those that look for it and dont expect to get there perfect job handed to them.(I have never had issues finding a job)
Sydney has beaches, Lunar park and some big ugly tower thing...
Have to agree with the leb thing though but along side that it also has a large asian population as well, some signs are very hard to read around some areas of sydney.
All in all its somewhere to live.

Good decision on the move. You will love it here.
Mcminty.

I can't remember how many times I've visited Sydney in the last 10 years. I tend to go at least twice a year.
Melbourne weather is like 35-60F in the winter, with some rain. Summer it's 85-110F. It never freezes or snows.
In my experience Sydney's weather is warmer in winter (60-80F) but cooler in summer (85-105F).
The big difference is that during summer Melbourne has little to no humidity, whereas Sydney gets a little muggy.
The interesting meteorological statistic when comparing the two cities is that Melbourne has twice as many days with rain than Sydney, but Sydney has twice the annual rainfall of Melbourne. Swings and roundabouts.
Sydney is a fine city with excellent public transport and great cultural attractions. There is lots to do and plenty to see. It has a huge selection of wonderful beaches, great pubs and awesome resturants. It has great shopping and is highly cosmopolitan. You are in no danger of feeling like you dropped off the edge of the world.
Internet connectivity to the rest of the world is first-rate. Mobile phone coverage (cellphone) is >95% population. In the US they talk about "going digital" on their phones. Here in Australia the analogue network was turned-off at midnight, Dec 31st, 1999.
90% of Australias population is in 6 cities - this means that (with Sweden) we have one of the fastest rates of adoption in new technologies in the world. In 1996 we were second only to Sweden in each of per capita mobile phone use and per capita internet use in the world.
You will find Sydney, and Australian cities in general, to be as culturally familiar as any large western-judaeo-christian city can be. You will also find it more technologically advanced than many major US cities (heresy I know, but true in my experience) and despite recent events, there is VERY LITTLE religious, cultural or racial intolerance. For the lower and middle classes you'll find our education and medical systems much better than those you are used to, and you may also find our political system to be "amusing".
Of the American Cities I have visited, I think Boston is closest in feel to Sydney (and Melbourne). Sydney also puts me in mind of London, to be honest.
As with ALL Australian cities, you are best off getting a local to help you get the most out of the place.
As a qualifier: I have lived for many years in Britain, many years in Australia, and several years in the USA. I have visited Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, Weymouth, Plymouth, Manchester, Luton and London; Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide Canberra and Wollongong; San Francisco, Sacramento, Chicago, Wichita, St Louis, Honolulu and Boston. I have also been to several places in France, Istanbul and pre-handover Hongkong.
I hope that gives an idea as to what it might be like here.

Gayarena and Internoob. Internode has some strange rules regarding BF2 and Gamearena has better map cycle servers.
Bugger all in the way of SF servers though from either of them.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

True I said a cold hole for Canberra, a minor descrepency with one word.
Yeah...you quoted me but YOU still couldnt do that right, maybe instead of doing surfing as a subject at school, you should have done the English class one that teaches how to deal with people, without being a complete and utter cockmunch.
Im done dealing with you now, so please fuck of from this forum.

Holy shit, you have to be one of the most sterotypical people in this forum, you really think someone who lives all the way down in forest lake is a surfie? You need to stop watching those kid soaps so seriouslyBF2Craglyeye wrote:

Do your fucking research kid
[Imho Gamearena is better too, there are no whining cry babies, if you cant stand the rape, then you leave]
Hang on! Why the hell are we only using capital cities? There are some real nice towns and stuff around here, townsvilles pretty nice [Except if your indigenous] so is Bundaburg, the only reason you need to move to a major town is if you are looking for a big or corprate job

Sydney is an awesome place to live. I've lived in every state/territory except Tasmania and Sydney is by far MY fav.
The great thing about Australia is that every where is pretty damn good and we have so much choice.
I hope you'll like it, good luck and welcome to paradise..................!

Hang on... we don't HAVE any 110 streets here...Camski wrote:
a hole????
No it's not....
Canberra is worse if you ask me
BUT! If you're into all this politics etc. etc.... then you might be interested in ACT, other than that, i'd steer clear... Oh acctually, it's good for people getting their licence!
In NSW, when you're on your P's (RED) you're limited to 90Km/h, but in ACT, i think it's 110Km/h
Just don't come here for the weather. The most beautiful day can turn to the heaviest rain you've ever seen within 5 minutes and go back to the beautiful day within another 5. And the wind is pretty strong, too.
And make sure you know how to fight a fire.
At least the traffic is good. Which is more than I can say for Sydney (urgh - the streets look as if they were copied from some toddlers scribble onto a map)
