I know.....it sounds like stupid question.
We are thinking of moving to Melbourne or Sydney.
However, when I was 21, I liver for 6mths in Sydney followed by 6 mths in Adelaide.
What I can say is the the friendliness in Adel was immediately noticeable and not so hectic...although I did feel isolated at times.
When I returned to Sydney it felt like home. I guess it was the BIG city feeling.
So would Melbourne be best desribed a cross between the 2?
If not....which 1 or 2 cities would it feel like?

TC

Sydney and melbourne don't really compare, nor do Adelaide and Melbourne. Melbourne is yes a bigh City but nothing like Sydney, is friendlier and traffic is quite as bad. Melbourne has to be experienced to draw your own conclusions. I loved it and when I'm in Aus I'll be living close to it, but not in it!!
