Unless you like beaches, Melbourne is better than Sydney. Adelaide and Perth get a shoutout as well, but the latter is a little too isolated for my liking. If you do like beaches and find yourself in WA, head to esperance
Perth, because its my home and I honestly think its one of the best places to live on the planet. Loads of isolated, pristine beaches. Cleanest city I've seen so far. Public transport is decent.
As someone in my early 20s I can't stand living here any longer and plan to move away for a long while, but when I'm ready to plant my roots, I will be coming back home.
>Sydney
The best city by far for tourism purposes, but unless you’re a gigamillionaire you’ll never afford to live in an area that’s not filled with eshays, abos and asians whose parents weren’t investment bankers >Melbourne
The only city in Australia that you could describe as cultured (at a push). The weather is as unstable as the average inner city resident however. It is clowned on for the seemingly city wide dress code of only wearing black and whatever the fuck an ‘avolatte’ is, but there’s some genuinely cool spots. >Brisbane
I love Brisbane because even though it has all city facilities you realistically need, you can drive 10 minutes out of the CBD and feel like you’re in a regional Australian town >Perth
Warm and isolated. It’s high FIFO miner population keep both the Australian and the Balinese economies running. >Adelaide
Melbourne’s little brother who tries so hard to be like Melbourne it’s kinda funny. Not a bad city by any means, but they pronounce words different to the rest of the country so they’re a bit of a meme. >Gold Coast
Australia’s Florida. Theme parks, houses on canals, beaches, fake tits and steroids etc >Canberra
A planned city which is essentially a bunch of ‘cities’ thrown together to make a bigger city. For this reason, Canberrans don’t ever travel outside of their area at all unless it’s for work or to go on holiday. Everyone works in the public service or goes to one of the 3 universities so the dynamic of the city is confusing to put it lightly. Fucking strange place. >Newcastle, Wollongong, Central Coast
Pretty much satellites of Sydney at this point. Great if you love a coastal lifestyle, otherwise nothing remarkable whatsoever >Geelong, Mornington Peninsula
Same as above, but they’re satellites of Melbourne >Sunshine Coast
Not a city, more a collection of beach towns that are close together. Filled with so many boomers it’s known as God’s waiting room >Everything else
Irrelevant
>Pretty much satellites of Sydney at this point. Great if you love a coastal lifestyle, otherwise nothing remarkable whatsoever
Get absolutely fingered
During covid the cunt in charge of NSW said all of greater Sydney was in lockdown and that included Wollongong despite us not being anything to do with greater Sydney.
Basically being swallowed up by Chinese and pakis anyway
Silly me >Hobart
Much colder than every city bigger than it, for most of the year sunlight is cut short by the sun disappearing behind the mountains (which doesn’t help the cold at all). Also a fair bit of it is old as fuck and shit like plumbing doesn’t work well if at all. >National Parks
Very beautiful, nothing I can really knock them for other than them being so far away from everything else. >The rest of Tasmania
Irrelevant (insert obligatory cousin fucking joke here).
I'm Greek & currently living in the UK. Australia is the perfect combination of "too far away" and "too expensive" that I'll likely never visit it although I would really like to. I've thought about taking a job there for a few months just to tour the country, visit the national parks and the coastal towns, but the visas make it a massive pain in the butt so it's not really worth the hassle and cost. At this point in life I'm jealous of the fags who can spare 20k to travel for a few months around the globe at least once in their lives, because I've never been further than a 200 pound return flight, and likely never will. South america, china, japan, SEA, AUS and NZ are just written off, now Russia too which is kinda sad. I might eventually visit US and Canada, but I also need to find good company willing to spend the kind of money required to see enough of it.
I am maybe gonna move for a job to aus for 3 years, Brisbane or Sydney. Have not decided yet but I know that I am going great pay and good wonderful for my career. I am from northeren eu and I just have to get off this continent for a while. Any tips from some aus bros?
I moved to Australia first on a WHV and then being sponsored on a skilled visa, what do you want to know? The state capitals are all terrible btw, huge CoL and low wages.
I think I was just wondering general life in Australia, public transport especially and is it problematic flying between the big cities, any tips on lovley tropical islands that most people do not know about? Tips on night life, some people have told me it is kind of dead but was that just because of corona. I would love to join some amature tennis or football club hope that is not much of a problem. My friend there always tells me that everyone is so laid back and relaxed so I am looking forward to working there for a while just want to get much out of it also.
If you're used to Northern European weather, you'll fry in Brisbane. It's ridiculously hot and humid for two thirds of the year.
Sounds lovley, You know it is not the cold itself that is much of the problem here, and the summers are really lovley here aswell. The worst part is the lack of sunlight and rain half the year.
Brisbane weather is fine, he's overstating it, its only humid and hot between Dec and Feb, and not always.
You will probably need a car in Australia, public transport is good but not comprehensive. Flights between major cities are easy and cheapish (Melbourne-Sydney is the 3rd busiest air route in the world).
Nightlife: Melbourne is great, Sydney is bad for a city of its size and Brisbane is good for a city of its size (half the pop of syd/mel).
There's sports clubs in the smallest of outback towns.
Ty for the answers, I am not really afraid of bugs or spiders but I am interested in crocodiles. Not that I plan getting close to one but I read that there are some incidents that occur every year where humans get consumed, Is it because the humans are not cautious and swim in their teritory?
There will be signs with warnings on them near waterways but some will not have them so its better to just not swim in any waterways in this area unless clearly marked that they are safe to swim in. And yes most deaths are from stupidity, swimming in croc territory even during night time, and also fishing to close to water etc, some deaths are even from walking on the beach at night next to the water.
> public transport
basically doesnt exist >is it problematic flying between the big cities
going to another city in Australia may as well be an international flight.
Camberra

Sydney.
Fuck you that's why.
Perth, because its my home and I honestly think its one of the best places to live on the planet. Loads of isolated, pristine beaches. Cleanest city I've seen so far. Public transport is decent.

If it’s so great, then why can’t you stand living there?
Because its very small and isolated. Perfect for when I want to settle down, but at the moment I'm just restless.
I'm traveling to Australia soon, should I swing by Perth?
To live in, Brisbane
To visit, Sydney, Melbourne and Cairns
>Cairns
Im gonna be there in a week anon tell me whats up
go to the night markets, go out to gilligans fri/sat night, check out kuranda, a cool town nearby
to add to this port douglas and the daintree are absolutely worth it.

I would even say newcastle is better than sydney to live in at this point but as for wollongong god has left that place
During covid the cunt in charge of NSW said all of greater Sydney was in lockdown and that included Wollongong despite us not being anything to do with greater Sydney.
Basically being swallowed up by Chinese and pakis anyway
what about Tasmania?
Silly me

this anon's post is pretty accurate

>fuck off we're full
jk but cost of living and rent here is a bitch

what was your skill? What was the visa? I've got a 462

brisbane, simply cuz you probably wont be able to afford to rent in Sydney unless you rent in a literal druggie-infested shithole
