Haha.. yeah i was kidding - it's funny if i'm in another major city i can reel off 5 towns that i live near, then i say 'Moe' and they're like 'ohhh'. Normally followed by a Jayden Lesky murder comment

Just putting in a comment about Hobart.

Hobarts a nice place, and to me it will always be home but it doesnt offer alot to a young person like me. It really depends on what your after. It does get cold, but if that doesnt bother you much then you'll be fine. You pretty much need to be qualified in anything to get anywhere. You will get a lot for what you paid for houses are cheap.

As I mentioned in my prior post, Mercer did an independant survey of all the worlds cities. Here is the top five plus our cities and a couple of others

They include political stability, currency-exchange regulations, political and media censorship, school quality, housing, the environment and public safety. Mercer collected the data between September and November of 2006 and considered 215 cities around the globe. Switzerland's main commercial and cultural center, Zurich, topped the list this year, followed by Geneva, and Vancouver and Vienna, which tied for third. To see how other cities fared, check out this interactive table.

Having travelled most the World, If you live in Australia then theres a good chance you live in a good place...

[uranium_death]

Depends what you want...

Melbourne IMO is the best place to live. Sporting events, culture, night life...everything.

But Melbourne is not a great holiday destination compared to places like QLD, which still has fantastic natural scenery in the rainforests while NT has Ayers Rock (Uluru). Alice Springs is another great tourist spot.

So best city in Oz? It's really quite hard to say...depends where you come from, what you like and where you've been.

There is no one answer.

I have been to all those places except: Vancouver, Auckland and New York.

As far as the Australian places go, best things I have seen/done in each:
Adelaide: went to see Australia vs West Indies one day match on Australia day
Perth: Not really IN Perth but spent the day at Freemantle and/or Rottnest Island
Brisbane: caught the river cat from Hamilton to Southbank
Melbourne: see the view from Rialto observation deck
Sydney: Catch the ferry to Manly
Canberra: dunno, theres heaps to see for a nerd like me. Telstra tower? I like towers
Newcastle: the tower on the waterfront

Perth - cars, sport, education, beaches, money, no stress, lots of oppertunity equals great lifestyle and more important good health.

Mate have to strongly disagree with very average looking women in Adelaide lucky if you see one in a hundred. That is so not the case and I live here. :

bathurst. the best race track in the world and plenty of great people

[GXL078]

Adelaide is not multicultural? They must bring them in for the Australia day parade. All cultural groups are represents in ther hundreds. Average looking women is BS too. Just go to Glenelg and have a look along Jetty Rd. Young females parade up and down seeing who can get the most comments form the bikie types out the front of the hotels. There are attractive young women there in packs at every turn. made me wish I was 20 years younger.Anyone who bags Adelaide is just jumping on the "lets' bag Adelaide" bandwagon because that's what their minds are programmed to do from birth.

One little town that many people don't know about....

Womboota!

Pros: More Churches than houses. State of the art recycling centre (read, 4 bins of different colours), yet to be influenced by the 19th Century. The closest McDonalds is 45 minutes away.

Cons: 4 Churches! Yet to be influenced by the 19th Century. When someone goes on holiday the population halves! The local phone book only has half a yellow page. The closest civilization is 45 minutes away.

Agreed. I work in the city and if you go for a walk at lunch time during summer in Rundle Mall, you have to have the rest of the day off work due to getting a sore neck from perving at all the women!
Sshhhh! Don't tell the wife!

For me, definitely Adelaide. Being in IT, there is plenty of good work here. I also live in the Barossa Valley, so have the best of city working and country living.

You know you're in Adelaide when... http://blog.myspace.com/frankiemadeleine

There are good ladies everywhere you go. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While some like the anorexic models, others like some with a bit of curves (or a lot).

Each to their own.
