Best city in Australia to live in and visit? |
Travel Info What do you think is the best city in Australia to live in and the best vity in Australia to visit. The best city in Australia i would have to say to live in is defenitely Perth and even though it's the most isloated city in the world which sucks and it is pretty obring and there is not much to see and do and it is now the most expensive city in Australia to live in it is still by far the nicest city in Australia to live in in terms of standards of living. Perth is a beautiful laidback freindly and relaxed city with lots of beautiful beaches and scenery and it is by far the cleanest biggest city in Australia, and while it is not one of the safest cities in Australia it is still alot safer then Sydney and Darwin which are the most dangerous cities in Australia. It also has the best health care system in Australia, and in a few weeks time i will be going back home there and i am very much looking forward to it and it will get to see my family there again. Travel Tips G'day I know that you intend to brag abt Perth. However, since you do ask the question, I will then decide to answer :) I have been living in Melbourne for 16 years since I migrated. Wellll... where should I start? 1. First of all... some people do not like the weather in Melbourne (you can have 4 seasons in one day). However, if you read the first article from The Age newspaper, you will find out that the weather is still more preferable than the other cities. Sure you can have 42C day in summer, but almost immediately you'll get a much cooler weather pretty soon afterwards. It is very rarely that you got 2 or 3 consecutive days of hot weathers (unlike some other cities). 2. Melbourne is a city of diversity. If you are a newcomer, and you do not look 'Anglo-Saxon', you do not feel like an 'alien', since you can find almost every race in the world walking in the city. They are both immigrants and overseas students. 3. THE FOOD!! Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Thai, All-you-can-eat, African, Lebanese, Mexican, Sea Food... anything else? All available and lots of them in a very-very-very affordable price 4. Pretty good public transport system. With one ticket, you can switch from train, tram and bus. They do not always come on-time, but still reliable and improving (www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au). 5. SHOPPING!!! Original branded clothing sold very cheap. There are even shopping tour, where the participants are taken to retails outlets just for shopping. Big temptations for ladies. 6. Crime rates... just read the second article on the bottom. 7. Cost of Living... I'll say it's second most expensive city after Sydney. Altho I have to say that some cities in Queensland can be more expensive to live. 8. Night Life... hmmmm... I'll say the centre of nite activities will be Crown Casino and Docklands. Altho there are still plenty of cafe's and clubs scattered around the suburbs as well. 9. Tourist attraction. This is the area that I think Sydney is better than Melbourne, since it has most of it's attraction within its suburbs. Most Melbourne attraction are pretty much out of Melbourne, such as the gold mines in the cities of Bendigo and Ballarat, The Great Ocean Road, Lakes Entrance, Grampians, skiing in Mt. Buller etc. Running out of ideas, but I hope that I can at least give you some more informations that have been provided by you earlier. BTW... the tallest building in Melbourne is now the Eureka Tower, where they have just opened the observation deck on level 88 (Rialto's observation deck is on level 66). Website: http://www.eurekalookout.com.au/... I've been living in Melbourne for 16 years, visited some other capital cities in Australia and still love Melbourne 10/10, I guess same thing like how you like Perth ;) ADDITION: Hi Forky. Yes I do. But I think if I got a good thing, I'll stick to it ;) Mind you... only in this question that I mention abt Eureka tower, so I'm not just copying and pasting my previous answers. I do read the questions and I modify as required. Sorry, but my English is not very-very-very good-lahhh...

Other Travel Tips why ask then answer yourself are you a idiot ??? your abusing this community service - you didn't really ask a question you just want to have a conversation - stick to the blogs Love your work........Perth is beautiful! Best city to live in is Brisbane. The traffic is not as bad as Sydney, the weather is divine throughout the year. The best city to visit is definitely Cairns. There is so much to do. Dive the Great Barrier Reef, walk in the Rainforests and just enjoy the lovely warm weather all year round. Fremantle is a port city and compared to Perth it has so much more to offer great atmosphere and people and it has kept its unique character I know its right next door but I love it in Freo. |
