    You've covered quite a bit of coastal Sydney, but missed out the large residential areas to the west and south west, where many people live. Accommodation there would be a lot cheaper than the areas shown. If you live close to a station, travel to the city etc may well be much faster than places that look close on the map, but are dependent on buses.

The amount of cars in Perth with Victorian rego plates is astonishing. Never seen anything like it. One amazing thing about Perth and Western Australia is our wildlife, our beautiful Quokkas and Black Swans.

    Looking into doing local house sitting as a summer job before my first year of college. I'm mostly writing this comment to get my ideas in order, but if anyone notices something glaringly wrong please lmk. I'm thinking $14/hr without pets and $16/hr with, and offering garden/yard maintenance and basic cleaning (laundry, dishes, cleaning bedsheets, basic tidying-up, etc) as being included in the deal. It'd be a case by case basis, but other stuff may cost more. I'd offer 24hr sitting and custom hours. I'd also offer -$20/day if food is provided for lunch and supper (I'd bring my own snacks and I don't eat a lot) but only for jobs where I would be there for more than 6 hours in the afternoon. No children. But yeah. That's about it.

      @@sandrafowler6717 Interesting, we are trying to make this decision now where to move in Australia from London. Perth is high up there because it's a 17 hours direct flight to London, great beaches near residential areas (unlike say Brisbane), climate is hot but not humid, loads of sunny days, not too many rainy days, great infrastructure for drivers and not congested, low crime, more affordable than other cities closer to fly to places like Bali and it seems very pretty there. The biggest downside with Adelaide is you pretty much have to go via Perth or Sydney/Brisbane to go anywhere, salaries are lower and from my limited research it seems a bit boring, less concerts, less culture, less nice cafes/restaurants, etc.

    We live in Sydney's Upper North Shore, for which there is no real Melbourne equivalent. There is a fair bit of consolidation going on, but it is still an area of comfortable family homes on reasonable blocks of land - in imperial the blocks are a half acre and in metric I think that works out to about 200ha. It is hilly so even walking a suburb away gives plenty of exercise for an aging couple. Melbourne is much flatter. There is a good train service to the city - in our case 35 minutes and in the days I was working that took a bit over a half hour. We'd get much the same in Melbourne despite major differences in the style of passenger rolling stock. Plenty of suburbs have day-to-day household shopping (ours has restrictive covenants which ban any commercial activity) and a couple of larger centres for larger purchases such as furniture and appliances. Good public and private schools. We'd find similar suburbs in Melbourne. The climate is cooler than closer to the harbour or coast, and on a couple of occasions we've had very light snow (it had all melted by the following morning). The Melbourne climate would be similar. We don't really notices differences in the art scene. We have had subscriptions for many years for theatre and opera and we'd get much the same performances were we in Melbourne. On the sporting scene, there is no Melbourne equivalent to the surf beaches in Sydney suburbs. We don't have easy access to Rules football but in Melbourne there's very little of either rugby code.

      @@EikeEnki Snakes are not really a concern here, nor in Melbourne either. In suburban areas, they are very, very rare. The outer reaches nor-east and sou-west of our area border national parks, with bushland, and residents there may well occasionally see a snake or 2. I'm now drawing close on 80 years old, and don't remember seeing any snakes near us. Most areas of suburban Sydney and Melbourne are well and truly away from bushland and would not see snakes either.

    Very comprehensive but… you missed out Jenolean caves!!!!!!!!!!! Also Wombeyan caves and others. Jenolean caves should be right at the top of the list! Great video, you should mention Canberra is the capital of Australia though.

    When mentioning how Melbourne has great local beaches and Brisbane you need to drive 1.5 hours north to the Sunshine Coast or 1.5 hours south to the Gold Coast or 1 hour boat ride to Moreton or Stradbroke Islands. Correct Melbourne does have some beautiful beaches but you didn't mention water temperatures. Queensland's winter water temperature is warmer than Melbourne's summer water temperature. Fine if you just want to go to the beach and sit and look but go for a swim (even in summer) and it's an instant headache (brain freeze) when you dive in. Just saying it's a very important fact you failed to mention. We are now in winter, today has not a cloud in the sky, Max 23° and stays like that all day (not 4 seasons in one day) I think Melbourne also has more days above 40° , I can't remember the last time we reached that temperature however I admit the summer just finished had exceptionally bad humidity compared to previous years.

    Beaches in Adelaide stretch along the whole coast for kms . Glenelg is a short tram ride from the city centre. Fantastic beach. Just a short distance from Glenelg you have constant beautiful golden sand down to Brighton.
