Positives:
Great food
Great vibe
Good infrastructure
Long summer days
Choices...so many choices!
Negatives:
Tedious chip on its shoulder about Sydney
Tendency to attract residents who bang on endlessly about the place probably boring others to tears
It's probably not Australian enough for some!

It will almost certainly be a local issue with booze. Although I never knew about it in relation to Broom before... plenty of other outback country towns but not Broom uptil now.

Negative: Broome is rough as guts, been there a few times. Any time of day there will be someone screaming abuse at someone else in the street.
In 2010 I saw someone get stabbed. Constantly hassled for booze/fags/money.
Human shit on the pavement.
Got attacked by a dog as I walked to hospital because I copped an eye injury defending the place from bushfires!
All the "locals" from Halls Creek, Fitzroy Crossing etc... where there are stricter alcohol restrictions come to Broome for the grog.
I hate Broome with a passion.

I would like to see Broome rebranded in that special way only "Downunder" shows could do.

Just before the New Year read a foreign backpacker girl wandering back after a hard night at one of the local boozers took a wrong turning and ran into serious trouble.
To be fair this is far from being Broome centric and is rather common across the entire region and into NT.

Brisbane:
+ South Bank
Dedicated Busway
Beautiful lush green Countryside/rainforest
Constant Improvements
Some very leafy older suburbs with character
Warmer Winters
Queen St Mall![Embarrassment](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/redface.gif)
Big name bands play here
Easy to find things to do/see North and South
- Very Concrete/square/1960's 'new town looking in City Centre
Seemingly lower intelligence of inhabitants (who me sweeping generalisations?
)
No beaches nearby
No Daylight saving
I'll nominate South Adelaide

Positives
Fantastic Vista into the city from the Adelaide hills
Easy to get around
Surpringsly good food and bars and pubs.
Goes into a mourge like state on a Sunday
Small town Vibe
Most Feral City inhabitants I've ever came across... Even the Grannys are loopy.
(Worst accent in Aus)
Ok more for South Adelaide Or I'll nominate Bendigo or Ballarat.
