Que Sera Sera Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I've only been to two, Perth I live in and Brisbane I visit regularly. Out of the two Perth obviously that's why we still live here. Places on my wish list to visit in order are Sydney Hobart Melbourne Cairnes Darwin Adelaide Canberra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 What would be yours? If you like you can say why! If I could live in any: Brisbane - because QLD is my favourite state, easiest access to Whitsundays, Great Barrier Reef and other great places. Plus it is affordable. Spend loads of time here Sydney - good combination of city and beautiful coastline, Australian icons, good access to lots of other places to visit. Live here Darwin - maybe just because it provides something really different and we moved for new experiences. Spent about 3 days here. Adelaide - affordable, wine country. Visiting a couple of times, long weekends etc. Canberra - nothing to say really, but better than the next two. Visited once, two days. Melbourne - just don't like it, ugly. Nice coffee. Visited several times for work and leisure. Perth - I do not think there are any circumstances in which I would consider living in Perth. Zero attraction to me. Visited couple of times.

srh82 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Brisbane Melbourne Sydney Perth Adelaide loved my holiday in Tassie but no jobs for what I do there. Hobart would be right up there otherwise. I would live in any of those cities apart from Adelaide....commuting from as close to Barrossa Valley as is feasible could convince me though ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freckleface Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 At the moment my list would be: Canberra (don't knock it if you haven't tried it) Brisbane Melbourne Perth Adelaide Hobart Darwin Sydney However when I retire you wouldn't catch me living in any of the capitals - there are much, much nicer places to live in the regional areas.

Or is it a secret . To be honest I liked lorne on the great ocean road.but being a chippy with three kids to support work was lacking. Thus the need to go back to uk. I refuse too call it home because we have two homes now. But I digress one is calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refuse too call it home because we have two homes now. But I digress one is calling. If I was a chippy I would live on the south coast of NSW. My BIL lives there and was complaining on the weekend that he is going to have to wait weeks to get some carpentry work done (house reno) even though one of his mates is a chippy because there is more work than they can handle.

NicF Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I've only been to two cities so my list is based on what I know about the size of the city and the climate rather than any actual preference based on having been.

starlight7 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hobart is nice but I would suffer from the lack of decent shops. They go up to Melbourne to shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight7 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Decent clothes, decent food( they send it North), decent restaurants (there are a few but not too many) That is what is lacking. All the rest- scenery, lack of traffic, art galleries- Hobart is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
