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? :-)
Sorry, Stumpy, you are incorrect in that assumption. Sydney (unfortunately) remains the most expensive city in Australia and one of the most expensive cities in the world. Sydney is the fifth-most expensive city in the world, with Melbourne one ... 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

Single Black American female in Sydney by D.Cstudent
Hey guys, This is really early but I'm thinking about moving to Sydney after I'm done with school in about three years. I'll be 24 by then and have my doctorate in Chiropractic. I want to use my degree there if possible. I was wondering how ...
Piqui01, I am afraid you are absolutely wrong about Australia not being multicultural. Australia, in fact, is one of the most multicultural countries on earth. Just because you don't see a huge population of black people in the cities does not mean ... Read More
