Hi ManFrom Tarturis,
I can understand Bingos choice,of the three,Melbournes Climate is the closest to Southern England,many of its people very similar indeed,a bit stand offish,a reputation both share,for a Family Man it's a very good Choice....For my Money, and I lived there once for nearly a year,Sydney is head and Shoulders above the rest...Glorious Beaches,Warm equable Climate and the most beautiful Harbour in the World...I visit Brisbane every Year,as my eldest Son lives there,while the Winters are great,being in a valley it is soo oppressively hot and humid in Summer,dreadful!...Work is tight up there but I would say it is 20% cheaper than the other two and housing is not too hard to find...As a Fisherman,none are really that good,if you are prepared to drive a few hours there are wonderful spots out of Sydney...though Perth is far and away much better than all of them,it's isolation detracts....Personally,I find Adelaide the pick of them but work is very tight indeed.
