i live in Perth right now, and i would only recommend it to people who have a solid paycheck. So expensive, the place im living right now is 3 bed, 2 bath and its 450 a week, the same place in QLD would be 300-350. Fucking miners.

That's cute. :lol: $450 bucks a week in Sydney for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom flat would be amazing. :lol: :lol: :lol:


Im talking 20mins north of Perth, not Perth itself. Dont know what the Sydney equivalent would be, Living in or near Perth would be ridiculous.

Are you talking suburbia?

20 minutes North of the Sydney CBD, you hit the Lower North Shore/Northern Beaches. You're living in a bus shelter essentially if you're only paying $450.

Go 20 mins South, you hit Rockdale area. Once again, laughing if you're paying around $450.

Go West, you're around Leichhardt/Ashfield. $450 a week might get you a place just off Parramatta Road.

Sydney is the most expensive city in the country. :lol:

Newcastle is great if you're into great beaches and easily accessible illicit narcotics (and weed)

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Sydney is a bit of a try hard L.A.


Melbourne is kinda like NY with fashion, shopping, events and restaurants. (More cosmopolitan)
Sydney is like LA , beach, expensive, celebs, try hards



Sydney doesn't have fashion, shopping, events and restaurants? Fuck me, well I must be living in a fantasy universe. Last time I checked Sydney has all of them including the highest rated restaurant in Australia.

I'm not sure how much more "try hard" you can get than shopping and fashion in any case, fuck sake :lol:

Relevant.

Using combined expert reviews, 3 of Australia's best restaurants are in Melbourne. The other 7? Sydney.

It's about how you drop them into the oil I've found.

Gotta do it nice and slow, taking your time and not rushing it.

Launie is an absolute hole! Worked there for two weeks, and it felt like going back in time 20 odd years. Some nice little spots surrounding it, but the city is a dump.

While I wish the trains were slightly better, I have to say Adelaide. Melbourne is...good, but I wouldn't want to live there if I could help it.
