@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 Sorry if my off the top of the head ideas are silly, out of date, or just plain wrong!
