@aj@gts.sadauskas.id.au 4: Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney. Perth is on the West coast, the others on the East. Musician Pogo is from Perth. Sydney has the opera house and the bridge with the fireworks we usually see on New Years eve on TV.

@aj I'm going to make an absolute fool of myself and probably confuse cities and (territories? States? Regions?) plus throw in stuff that isn't even in Australia, but here goes: Sydney Melbourne Victoria Canberra?

@aj Sydney - opera house, not the capital Canberra - the actual capital Melbourne - Dame Edna Everidge, I think Neighbours was set here? Alice Springs - the one that's not on the coast ... yeah that's it

@aj The Alice would be my favourite after Sydney. Didn't take much to Perth - car dependent desert[#] - or Melbourne - get run over by a tram and/or fall in the Yarra and what else is there to do? [#] OK, OK, we did find interesting things to do Perth. Like, I rented a plane from Jandakot and flew it to Rotto.

@aj 4. Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Canberra, Dolphin Spit. I've seen photos of the Sydney Opera House. Dolphin Spit is where Muriel developed her love for ABBA.

@aj Sydney. Feels like a cultural capital of some sort. Shiny and glass and has that opera house on the waterfront Isn't there a Victoria? New South Wales isn't a city, neither is Tasmania, but they are places, I think they have beaches? My brain wants me to say Aukland but I'm pretty sure that's in New Zealand. And I know there's the one city that the wooden streetcars come from but I can't remember what it's called.

@aj Sydney -- Not the capital Melbourne -- Not the capital Perth -- Capital of Western Australia? Hobart -- I think it's in Tasmania? Canberra -- Yay, the real capital!

@aj Ok... without looking... Melbourne. Miss Fisher Mysteries, and also Fisk, and also I think maybe that show where Xena is a private detective (before moving home to NZ). Sydney. It has an opera house. Perth. It is, somehow, on the most opposite side of the world from _most_ cities. Adelaide. Penguins? Uh, Brisbane. I don't know anything about that one. Canberra? Is that a thing? Unsure on number of Rs. Also, I think maybe there is a Darwin, but I'm sorry if that's in New Zealand.

@aj Darwin, hot as hell, large crocs. Melbourne, Sir Les (RIP) Mooney Ponds. Brisbane on route to I'm a celeb. Sydney bridge, fireworks NYE. Perth ? Adelaide ? Alice Springs, and that place with lots of oo's beyond the black stump.

@aj Sydney : on the sea shore, had a cool looking opera. Canberra : capital of the country. And... Well sorry that's it 🫣

@aj Canberra - ANUni, roundabouts, world's most boring parliament building. Sydney - beaches, harbour, bridge. Melbourne - perpetual winner of the most liveable city list.

@aj Sydney: Opera House, harbour beach, long drive to work, v.expensive property prices. Might be congenial to lovers of California. Much sipping of chardonnay. Canberra: Significant in history of planned cities, capital city, politicos, civil servants, possible focus of hatred for right wing Australians. Melbourne. More old school than Sydney. Famous department store (does it still exist?) with vacuum tube communication. Adelaide: Pretty city centre, arty, site of recent literary festival controversy. Home of (in)famous Kpop commentator Kpopalypse. Brisbane: Suspect it might stand to Queensland as Austin does to Texas. Is it overrun by cane toads? Perth: Absolutely nothing like the Scottish city of the same name. Hobart: Although I enjoy sunshine, I suspect that bthe climate here might be better for this Brit than that in lots of other Australian cities. Launceston: lots of good Asian cuisine. Sorry if my off the top of the head ideas are silly, out of date, or just plain wrong!

@aj So I'm an USAian who has never been to the Southern Hemisphere. Sidney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Darwin, Adelaide. Brisbane and Darwin are warm. Brisbane is near the Great Barrier Reef. Sidney: Big city. Opera house, Olympics, and stuff. Melbourne: i have some colleagues who live there. Really dry most of the year. Cool rivers nearby (I'm a stream ecologist) Adelaide is on the flying doctors show.

@aj Sydney? Maybe some other, but it won't come to mind right now Now that I think about it I know very little of Australia
