To live,

Love Adelaide, small but not too small.
Melbourne is pretty good but a bit big.
Sydney would be absolutely horrible to live in (for me). To big and shit traffic.
Newcastle is a fucking shithole.
Gosford and surrounding areas would be nice if you had retired
Brisbane is OK. Shit weather.
Haven't been to Perth, but sounds like a better version of Adelaide.

Serious question, where in Newcastle have you been?

Spent a week in December down in St Kilda and loved it. First time I'd been to Melbourne (excluding being at Tullamarine airport purely in transit) and I found it easier to find my way around than in Sydney.

Walking around in the CBD is like walking around an Australian ghetto.

Around Humter Stadium and in the city centre, so yeah I was a bit harsh but still, didnt like it.

That's why, the city centre and surrounding areas of Hunter Stadium aren't glittering places (although normally a city centre is supposed to be good, I get that)...but the areas surrounding the numerous beaches here are just magic. My team did a pre-season training session around Bar Beach and King Edward Park and I was so jealous of the people who get to live so close to the beaches and get those sort of views from their windows.

I've never been to Adelaide but I'm sure it has some fantastic places and some shitty places too, just like most places.

Yeah, definitely right in saying that Adelaide has its bogan parts. :lol:

Oh der

I don't think I could ever live in Adelaide, i found it too small and nothing going on. It seemed like an absolute ghost town on a Sunday.
Also, last year I went to the races at both Morphetville for the SA Derby and Flemington for the Victorian Derby, the differences between those two events say it all about each city really.

Have you been to Brisbane :lol:

tbh if we have visitors from afar come see us, we take them around lake macquarie & the hunter valley. newcastle cbd is fine to drive through, the beaches are great, but i wouldn't take people to the cbd and say "voila".

if anyone ever comes up to newy from around aus, give us a yell & we'll give you a tour.

Fair enough re Sydney, we're ridiculously overpriced for everything.

If you can afford it, there is no better place to live than Sydney. You need to be in the right areas otherwise it can be a shithole. Super expensive and plenty of parts would be rubbish to live in (like anywhere I guess).

This absolutely!!
