I (obviously) prefer Melbourne to Sydney.. It also beats Sydney in that 'livable' city list that comes out now and again, and has even come in at number 1 in the list previously.

It all depends on what lifestyle you are after!

2nd agree Melbourne has a nicer lifestyle than Sydney, more restaurants etc, Sydney is a bit more brash, so angel would i assume get away more easily with the white jeans (Paddington, Oxford Street)

Angel i have been to the whitsundays about 10 times i reckon, twice when i lived in the UK, as VA says its a lovely place, but i reckon business opportunities are very limited, hence why I am living and working for a large amercian corporate in Sydney. The Whitsundays has major developments going on (marina's, new resorts etc) so business opportunities may pick up, depends what floats your boat in terms of money making

Agreed Zilch...

Broadly speaking I would try to describe the differences by saying Sydney is more "American", and Melbourne, being cosmopolitan, is more "European".

Perth, a very beautiful city, is as "the world's most isolated city" just too far from anything..

Adelaide is probably a little 'small' for me, and wouldn't have the 'amenities' of the larger cities such as Sydney and Melbourne.

Brisbane - well all I can say is I don't do humidity, and the humidity would kill me in the summer! Also prima facie a little on the small side.

Angel - get onto Realestate.com.au, or domain.com.au and look at the property locations and the prices.. The latter has an iphone app you can download.

I believe the way of achieving the best balance is to have a house in/near the city, and have a holiday house near a good beach or in the coutryside somewhere.

These are just my opinions and at the the end of the day, its all down to personal preference.

I loved Oz when I was out there, but must admit the fact that there's always something waiting to kill or maim you around the next corner always put me off living there

Angel, why don't you come and live in the UK. You know you love everything about it.

You can come and redevelop my house for me... it could do with having an AM parked out the front

Schmoogs, i have only seen one nasty spider, that was non lethal in the whole time i have been here in over 4 years, must admit the wife did have to evict a funnel web one night whilst i was away on business

Snakes, only dead ones on the side of the road that lost out to something a whole lot heavier with rubber footwear and travelling at about 80 kph

Sharks, only one whilst diving off of Sydney, a wobbegong and they are harmless..

Nothing to worry about
