Re: sydney or melbourne

One big deciding factor is property in Melbourne is much cheaper than in Sydney. If you want to be closer to the city for a smaller mortgage then head for Melbourne.

Sydney if you have unlimited funds and you like vibrant cities by the beach.

Melbourne if you have normal-sized funds and you like vibrant cities by the beach.
