Thinking about Adelaide gets us all depressed but that's not the answer mate.

Adealaide >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Melbourne

Also, Melbourne is a pretty big city with a lot of traffic lights, bad traffic and tallish buildings. Thats sort of hting is likely to induce anxiety in a NZer. Adelaide is much more like a NZ "city". It's little, cosy and quite self-effacing. Everywhere is only 20 minutes away from everywhere else. Good vineyards in close proximity, and the cricket ground really is speccy.

A humble little town, with much to be humble about. Kiwis should feel at home there.

[Burgey]

Sydney is a bullshit city that boomers have made completely unworkable even for the upper middle class now.

 

[Burgey]

Sydneysiders like that you can't afford to come here though

 

[Adders]

Why the **** would you want to go to Sydney when Brisbane is just up the road ffs

 

[Flem274*]

Melbourne is great. No one outside of Sydney and this forum would take Sydney over Melbourne.

They're both awful (any large city is) but Sydney's significantly more awful.

If two different stints in Melbourne didn't do it mate, nothing will

my cousin confirmed the following description of Melbournians and Sydneysiders:

Melbourne is full of turbo normies who are convinced they're quirky and eccentric
Sydney is full of complete psychopaths who are convinced they're the normal ones

choose your poison

Arguing about cities in Australia, like deciding what type of diarrhea is the worst to get (it's bloody btw).
