A bit bored of Perth thinking of moving to Melbourne.
 
I'm a bit bored of Perth thinking of moving to Melbourne has anyone else done the same?

I think the weather is less hot and the travel Opportunities are better.

Any thoughts?

Travel to where?

Australia is boring and not Europe.

Weather can be hotter than Perth some summer days, but the average would be cooler.

Why are you bored though? What did you do before you moved to Perth that you don't now, and will you be able to do that in Melbourne?

Melbourne does have a vast amount to do, I literally cannot squeeze enough hours in the day for everything I want to do outside work. But I also know of people who say they are bored in Melbourne, so I reckon it's a personal thing.
