Which one are you ... ?
 
Sydney ... It's sh!t or bust for us, we want the Australian dream, it's the place to be darling ... we are so Lardy daa ... Anyone for lunch at the Rockpool ? !

Perth ... We want Britain with the Sun and a cheap house !

Melbourne ... We're sophisticated baby ... we have seasons, European flavoured city with the slopes on our doorsteps ... it's perfect !

Brisbane ... We're just average Joe's that would probably settle for Perth but want to be a bit "closer" to the action.

Adelaide ... We have no knowledge of Australia and fancy it cos' errr we fancy it.

Tasmania ... We are over 50 and want the quiet life with beautiful scenery.

Darwin ... We've just been released from the institution, it sounds a "clever" city.

Yes you are ...

You're an institutionalised 50 year old sunburnt Brit who's just crawled out of the Rockpool cos you had an average meal and it wasn't sophisticated enough for you !

Honestly I think you are being far to kind to Perth-the official most boring city on the planet.

Perth...we want our kids to take up glue-sniffing and bestiality when they get older!

In all fairness to Brisbane,...unlike Perth-it has merits, the coast nearby, the tambourine Mnts, the glitter of surfers-and a pretty OK city in itself.

I wish this myth about cheap houses in Perth would go away. That was three years ago - we can't find one for love nor money that we can afford round 'ere.

Australia being cheap is a myth, not too sure who told me you would have a better standard of living and have more cash in your pocket.

which is a myth

Tis right. Perth prices are still booming while the rest of the country is pretty flat. You need to be looking at around $400,000 for a good un in a good area now. Add $200,000 if you want a beachside suburb.

That goes for the southwest as well.
