One major point is missing.... Where in the world would you really find anywhere definitely better to live though ? Because I wouldn't have a clue... everywhere I know of has something missing in comparison.

I don't think Melbourne even considers the world X factor for Cities these days.... Which is one major difference between it and Sydney. Recently (last 10 years or so) it's also lost that cultural cringe question that used to show up Australians insecurities, You don't hear people asking visitors everywhere anymore .... "What do you think of it here" They now know for absolute certain that it's one of the best places to live in the world. After that kind of self assurance it doesn't matter what anyone says anymore.

Got to say 3 weeks into my visit to the UK and the homesickness for Melbourne is starting to well and truly kick in.... I've had a big enough dose of nostalgia.... take me home.
