Yes! This is the best comment I've read about which Aus city is best. I'm moving back to Aus after nearly 19 years away this year, and will be moving to Adelaide. Most Aussies I know (from melb/syd) think I'm crazy, but Adelaide has the lifestyle that suits me best. I like all the other major cities, and can see why benefits in all of them, but to everyone needs to work out what works for their own personal situation and preferences.
@@Rhythmattica Nice to hear! I would actually really consider Hobart too if I didn't have some family in Adelaide - the access to Tasmanian nature looks incredible. We'll definitely make trips to Sydney when we want a bit of that big city atmosphere, but for the most part, the 'big country town' suits me just fine 😂. A factor in that is also affordability. If money was no object, I'm sure there are beautiful little pockets of Sydney that offer space, beauty and convenience, but I feel like that is now reserved for the multi multi millionaires, or those inheriting wealth. It is what it is.
When we were in Sydney last year we used opal cards & found public transport fairly easy to use & much cheaper compared with the UK. Being in a different country for the first time & city we didn’t know, we also found the transport staff at the stations really helpful. AND...we were definitely impressed by the cleanliness of the trains & buses 👌
@That Johnston Life most definitely & I have only experienced London transport on very few occasions. As for helpfulness, we travelled from the South Coast up to Darlington back in October. So changing at Waterloo to King's Cross, absolutely no idea where we were going, and hardly any staff to be seen. Those we did find, were unfortunately not very helpful & we almost missed the connection. It was extremely stressful 😔
Now you don’t even need Opal card. If you had any visa or mastercard, all public transport will accept it just like Opal. That includes train, ferry, lightrail, bus. And better yet, if you had Apple Wallet, you can tap your phone or smart watch without needing to authenticate anymore.
Great collaboration peeps, all great places to live. On the outside looking in. All in all though I'm with Ross on this one Brisbane ticks all my boxes!!! My destination in the near future hopefully🤞. Fantastic content, don't stop!!!
Love this idea and the Collab in general🙂 Everywhere in Australia has pros and cons. Sydney isnt a car city imo, you're much better of on public transport. Brisbane is a good medium - it's not as crazy busy or expensive as syd/Melb but it's not as quiet and slow and Perth or Tasmania (and not as remote. It's well connected to the rest of the country flight wise, cheaper). Ok....I'm off to part 2. I'll see you over on your channel for part 3!
WA. Best beaches. Best sunsets. Best weather. Prettiest city. Happiest animal. Biggest public park in the Southern Hemisphere. Tons of jobs. Btw… Lockdowns finished months ago!
Perth, a country on its own, voted number 1 place to live by Australians, Lonely Planet, Forbes and others. Perth is closer to civilisation than the Eastern States, who have....New Zealand and each other, but you're all far apart anyway. Perth, where a long weekend is Bali, Singapore etc. Asia, Africa, Europe are only a direct flight away. Perth, the same time zone as most of the world's money. Perth, considered to be the most beautiful modern, clean and sunny city in the world. It is the freeway capital of Australia, trains, free buses in the city area, transport is so easy very few people are more than half an hour away from the hundreds of beaches. No toll roads! Weather? The AVERAGE is 8 hours of sunshine over 365 days of the year. Just don't tell anyone.
In WA there is a particularly large amount of people who emigrated here from the UK and New Zealand and don’t seem to have an issue with the distance from the east. Our houses are affordable, employment plentiful and very well paid, living costs are similar to the east and as many want to live near the beach it is much more affordable to do this than on the east coast. I think advising people not to at least consider WA is a mistake and limits their opportunities.
Every city is the best city for someone, and that is especially true in Australia with high living standards across the boards. There will always be certain individuals who aren’t wholesome in every cities, but the positive outweighs the negative.
We have a housing crisis in Melbourne at the moment and I’m pretty sure in Sydney as well , not sure about other cities . Sky high rents and a shortage of properties. People are forced out of their homes because they can’t afford the rent. Aussies are homeless and those that have a home are in mortgage stress with constant rising of interest rates. The government are always asking for skilled foreign workers and we also have foreign students as well but not enough housing. I’m not against foreigners coming but we really urgently need to fix this!
To say their is a crisis across a whole city I think is an incorrect sweeping statement which doesn't help the problem. There are areas within all cities that are easier and more difficult to find rental properties. Whilst immigration is also a factor in this, it isn't the main reason, nor is limiting or stopping migration going to fix the problem for people the most at need. Have you ever considered that this rental crisis story could be perpetuated by a media, who are looking to divert attention away from real issues or where people aren't prepared to address problems head on? After all, it's not like the Australian media has ever done anything like that before is it?
The whole Western world is in this predicament. Can't go a day without hearing how racist we all are but the immigration demand to move to Europe, UK, Australia, USA, NZ or Canada just gets more every year.
Noosa has everything you could ever want. It's top end of Sunshine Coast. Surf, sun and no traffic snarls. No more expensive than anywhere else and have every conceivable attraction hereabouts that is also found anywhere else. OK you won't get the Sydney Harbour Bridge or the Opera House but we have better beaches and no winter! And you can take a holiday to go see those sorts of things. Buy a car, even a small one so you don't have to rely on public transport which in all honesty is pretty crap here in sunny Queensland. Just don't be in the situation of needing to rely on it. Some people do well while most don't. Personally, I live in the Noosa Hinterland on acreage which for many people is unheard of but lots of people do it in this country. My road trip to Noosa is a whole 40mins easy driving through some very small villages on mostly country roads while the last few K's is near the beach. Makes for such a lovely day out after a hard week's work. And yes we all have to work to pay for our delights. 😁
It also depends what job you have. If you are in medicine or nursing, Melbourne or Sydney are probably the cities you would want to go to but if you are the adventurous type you might want to try some regional hospitals. Queensland appears to be the place everyone goes to now. A number of my nursing friends have moved to Brisbane, they love it. So probably depends on what lifestyle you want. I think anywhere in Australia is great.❤
Love this collab! What a fun and informative idea. Everywhere in Australia has pros and cons really. Sydney has way better public transport. I never had a car the whole 13 years I was in Sydney (moved back to SE Qld 18 months ago). Didn't need a car in Sydney as I lived about 20 mins from the city. Brisbane is cheaper though rent and otherwise. It's a good medium - it's not as crazy busy or expensive as Sydney/Melb but it's not as quiet and slow and Perth or Tasmania (and not as remote. It's well connected to the rest of the country flight wise, cheaper). Melbourne will find itself getting more expensive still now that the population is starting to exceed Sydney. (Melbourne people love to "beat" Sydney on everything but highest population is not Something to be envious of. Everything just goes up. Ok I'm off to part 2 with Maz and then Part 3 with Kaitlyn 🙂.
Lived in Qld for over 40 years - more than 20 in the bayside suburbs of Brissy. Loved it. I've also lived in Sydney and I go there pretty regularly. The traffic makes you crazy, and trying to park? Forget it. I had to park in the city recently and was 2 hours to the minute. It cost - $79.00. Had I been another 5 minutes? $100. But there's nothing like the harbour. The Sunshine coast is nice, but not for me. Brissy is the best.
I lived in Sydney for 13 years til about 18 months ago. Never had a car while I was there, didn't need it with all the transport as I lived 20 mins from the city. Back in SE Qld now. Both places have their pros and cons. Public transport is better in Sydney but rent is dearer etc etc
I love these collaborations. Sydney is the most fun, with the most options and the best climate. But it is too exxie. Melbourne has footy, and food, and access to the Great Ocean road. But it's a little bit pretentious. Brisbane is great. Relaxed with big city options. But it's full of Queenslanders. Perth is the same with the bonus of beaches. But it's cheaper to fly to Bali. Adelaide is cruisy. Too cruisy sometimes. Canberra is central and has lots of good jobs. Hobart is historic and beautiful. But it's cold and wet. Darwin is too hot and humid. Which is why I have never been there.
If you want to be surrounded by Brits, then Perth is the town for you. Thirteen percent of Perth's population is British born, making it by far the most British city. WA does see itself as being a bit different to the rest of Australia; there's a belief that people from the Eastern States are a bit arrogant and make terrible political choices (privatising everything, allowing poker machines in pubs, building toll roads etc.) WA is also filthy rich, public utilities are cheap because we reserve 13% of our gas for domestic use and most public services are Gov owned. Public transport is also really good in Perth, the train network is huge, frequent and very cheap.
Noosa National Park beaches, the beaches (like Peregian) just south of that, Coolum beaches and Caloundra beaches give the Sunshine Coast the edge, but I love living in Brisbane because it’s friendly and there’s a lot to do…like escaping to the Sunny Coast ☀️😂
Mate, great video! Although if I ever convince my wife to move, I'm wanting to move to perth so made me smile when you mentioned perth at the beginning of the vid as a "why?" LOL.
You missed the point of the discussion. These people have been living in the places/areas they were talking about, so their comments were informed, based on their lived experiences How could they comment on Melbourne, Adelaide etc. when they haven't lived there?
Very hard to answer this, how many people have lived all over Australia? And how else could you truely compare, unless you had? It’s natural, to speak on the few cities/areas you have experienced. We all have bias. A video supposedly about a whole country, but actually is about three people’s perceptions of the three different areas of Australia, that they happen to live in. Valid, in themselves, but not as a survey of the whole country, to help other people, decide. So many places to live in Australia, every area has pros and cons. Most are not mentioned in this video.
You missed the option of a regional centre or a small capital like Adelaide or Hobart. Laid back affordable housing and short commutes. Plus an extra 5 points for your immigration.
BRISBANE IS THE PLACE!! We’re having wonderful climate, everything good of Sydney but less crowded and even better stuff, WE ARE HAVIGN UP COMING AMAZING PROJECTS FOR THE 2032 OLYMPICS!
Hosting the Olympics doesnt equate to anything great. Its basically spending a lot of money to build a lot of facilities for a two week sporting event. Brisbane is just trying hard to be something it isnt.
Never understood why people love to smash Perth’s reputation 😂 I’m here way from Italy, since few month, and it’s quite nice imo, especially from the weather/traffic point of view. (besides the fact winter just start 🥶)
@@robertmurray8763 actually no, they are hard to compare anyway cause the Indian Sea and the Antarctic land plays different dynamics on weather (like now in perth), instead Southern Italy is same in degree (minimum could be around 4-5 like in perth) but the mediterranean sea is more chill overall (I mean less windy, no cyclone and stuff like that) Instead, North Italy gets -2/-3 degrees easily, at peak winter, in the night. So south and north are quite different from the winter point of view.
Perths amazing . 1 in 3 are British and it has the most populated British suburb outside of the UK I’d move back there for sure weather and amazing beaches to! I’m in melb now great city life
@@ThatJohnstonLife Neither did I but it happens wherever you go in Aus no different to Greek or Italian Suburbs here in Melbourne! That particular area is in WA is stunning the Brit’s over there have it good, I only mentioned it to state how popular the Perth life style is with British people as this video was east coast centric and having lived on both sides WA is well worth a conversation! 7pm football kick off times alone is worth a video debate🤣⚽️
@@FPLMattDay few Italian suburbs here in Perth as well ..Stirling balcatta Osborne park Wanneroo Fremantle, Samson, white gum Valley. Even quite a few around Cannington here where I am
As a born an bred Perthian, I've been to Brissy, Sydney and Melbourne, all really nice cities, Melbourne has let the homeless takeover, but still like Melbourne all the same. Take the pick that suits you.
The best city to live in Australia? That’s easy. Hobart January 2 to February 29 unless it’s a leap year in which case you’ll have to go to Launceston from the 5th to March 7. Melbourne for 4 days in April. Adelaide on the 6th 9th and 17th of May. Perth in June but not on the 20th or the 23rd. Brisbane on July 9th-16th and Sydney September 15th only.
Oz saw its best days in the 80s. Since rabid feminism and Wokism took over about 15 years ago it's been all downhill - same with most Anglo-Saxon countries. Sad. But it doesn't impact too hard on me. 20 years ago I voted with my feet and went to live in Vietnam. This has ten times the personal freedom Oz has these days. Cheers.
OMG. Love this video…but no Melbourne! While I’m moving back to Brissie (which I also love but for different reasons), Melbourne has a special place in my heart as I lived there for a few years too. Hope you do a video down the line about some of the other cities too, like Adelaide ( boring!), Perth (are they even Australian?) Darwin ( just, why?) actually I could go on about every city…lol
Shut up! We don’t want to spoil the Adelaide tranquility and life style with more outsiders😂. I live as far from the country as you can get, but am only 30 minutes from it, in any direction and have the beach one suburb away. Try that in any other city of 1.3 million people.
Hi, do you feel safer in aus than the UK. My friend is there atm and has put me off saying shes heard of lots of crime & its not like you see on social media etc, we want to come out on a skilled visa im a hc professional with our toddler to give him a better chance now im thinking has social media influenced me wrong :(
Crime exists everywhere. My family feels much safer where we are in Australia compared to where we lived in the UK. The main differences I find with crime in Australia are; Less reported and unreported violent crime When there is voilent/serious crime it seems they mostly catch the perpetrators Less antisocial behaviour (although it still occurs) from younger people, who seem to be on the whole more respectful If you or anyone else you know feels differently to my opinion, maybe you live in a sh*t area. I didn't move my family to the other side of the world to live worse off and raise my kids to be less than we are.
@@ThatJohnstonLife thank you! Im feeling more unsafe here by the day with whats happening its getting worse here, i need to stop letting others put me off and go off whats important to my family,
All cities will have areas people would like to avoid. I'm in Perth, there are no "no go" areas that I am aware of, but certainly some suburbs you don't want to live in and some alleyways you don't walk down at 2 in the morning, otherwise crime is low, and it's mostly petty car break ins or burglary, very little attacks on people. Northern Australia coastal and inland towns however can be a different story.
Sorry, you lost me early, 3 people that only seem to know about one fiftieth of Australia, trying to say which is the best CITY to live in, and doesn't mention Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart or Melbourne, I'm afraid just doesn't sound like you have a fair and unbiased opinion and the subject. Maybe when you have lived here for 20 years and seen more of the country you could try this again.
A nod to the editor btw. SYDNEY! … Nah don’t live there (could’ve tho - interviewed and got offered a job there but someone else didn’t want to move). Bloody Brisbane - BORING! Nah don’t start Born Bred Worked in the damn place - my right to implicate Brisbane is boring - it’s a fact. Love Noosa but was a little scary to envisage kids gaining employment after school there so … SYDNEY! Woo hoo! Yeah i’m bored.
Are you looking to start a civil war, mate? 😅 Everyone is biased...can't imagine me ever moving from Sydney. Best climate of all the states. Not freezing, not boiling hot either...& the beaches ⛱️ 😎 We have countryside as well Ross 😉
Sydney is great, no doubt. I also don't think the Australian mindset would allow for a civil war. Too easy going. It’s un-Australian to care too much about what other people think And even if it did start a war, we'd all give up in the summer anyway
Sorry but you guys lost me on this video, you say best place to live in Australia and you made no commentary about Melbourne! Melbourne is commonly known as having the best food, best fashion, best mountains, best CBD, best live entertainment.
Its regularly rates very highly in standard of living though. Most of the hate for Canberra is based on stuff like weather or the beach, yet we get more sunny days than Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. Also as quick to the beach from Canberra as it is from Western Sydney.
Hang on how would you guys know the answer to this question...you live in QLD for goodness sake! I've lived in three different state and it really depends on what you want/need for the lifestyle you wish to live. Brisbane has NOTHING to offer me (lived there 2X). The Gold Coast is the crime capital of Australia and is very touristy, so no thanks. The Sunshine Coast is fantastic and I could live there, except QLD has too much corruption. The same is true for Melbourne (Dictator Dan), but I could easily live elsewhere in VIC. Perth is fantastic, but I'd have trouble deciding where to live, it's nice everywhere. NT, it's too hot. South Australia is great but is so far away from anywhere and the Govt. there sucks, having no idea how to run anything, so it's a no from me there.
@@ThatJohnstonLife I appreciate your reply. I know I sound down on most places but, the Govt.s of Australia are ruining this country! Even the guy in WA has stepped down because he has stuffed up. There are some nice spots, but you still have to live with the Govt. in those states. Try running your own business and see what I mean.
@@ThatJohnstonLife Mr. Johnston, First of all, I would like to apologize to you, if you had found my question provocative. Sorry, I did not mean to provoke you. I asked you that question because I have been watching a number of UA-cam channels, like yours', from Australia that belong to UK doctors in Australia. God Bless.
I love Melbourne but I know that other ppl might not. Every city in Australia has something to offer. It’s a personal thing.
That's a great way of putting it Diana
Yes! This is the best comment I've read about which Aus city is best. I'm moving back to Aus after nearly 19 years away this year, and will be moving to Adelaide. Most Aussies I know (from melb/syd) think I'm crazy, but Adelaide has the lifestyle that suits me best. I like all the other major cities, and can see why benefits in all of them, but to everyone needs to work out what works for their own personal situation and preferences.
@@naiyomotion As a Sydneysider, it'd be Brisbane or Adelaide for me...Loved Adelaide after a recent trip... Oh , And Hobart.. Beautiful...

I would actually really consider Hobart too if I didn't have some family in Adelaide - the access to Tasmanian nature looks incredible.

You missed the option of a regional centre or a small capital like Adelaide or Hobart. Laid back affordable housing and short commutes. Plus an extra 5 points for your immigration.
My 3 favourite UA-camrs!
You've never seen Mr Beast
This is great but I can’t find Part 2 anywhere! Can someone help please?
You should do some stuff about Melbourne too fella...my mate is moving there soon.
We've interviewed a couple of people from Melbourne on our podcast. Maybe check that out?
BRISBANE IS THE PLACE!! We’re having wonderful climate, everything good of Sydney but less crowded and even better stuff, WE ARE HAVIGN UP COMING AMAZING PROJECTS FOR THE 2032 OLYMPICS!
Hosting the Olympics doesnt equate to anything great. Its basically spending a lot of money to build a lot of facilities for a two week sporting event. Brisbane is just trying hard to be something it isnt.
Never understood why people love to smash Perth’s reputation 😂 I’m here way from Italy, since few month, and it’s quite nice imo, especially from the weather/traffic point of view. (besides the fact winter just start 🥶)
Perth is a great city.
Winter is probably not much different to southern Italy.
Haha. I have no right to hate on Perth, I'm sure I'll love it when I eventually visit
@@peterschmidt1453 Perth Australia is warmer than southern 🇮🇹.
@@robertmurray8763 actually no, they are hard to compare anyway cause the Indian Sea and the Antarctic land plays different dynamics on weather (like now in perth), instead Southern Italy is same in degree (minimum could be around 4-5 like in perth) but the mediterranean sea is more chill overall (I mean less windy, no cyclone and stuff like that)
Instead, North Italy gets -2/-3 degrees easily, at peak winter, in the night. So south and north are quite different from the winter point of view.
Perths amazing . 1 in 3 are British and it has the most populated British suburb outside of the UK
I’d move back there for sure weather and amazing beaches to!
I’m in melb now great city life
Not sure if I want to move to Australia to live in the most populated British suburb, but everyone is different 🤔
@@ThatJohnstonLife yeah too many poms here already..you stay there 🤣
@@ThatJohnstonLife Neither did I but it happens wherever you go in Aus no different to Greek or Italian Suburbs here in Melbourne!
That particular area is in WA is stunning the Brit’s over there have it good, I only mentioned it to state how popular the Perth life style is with British people as this video was east coast centric and having lived on both sides WA is well worth a conversation!
7pm football kick off times alone is worth a video debate🤣⚽️
Perth is a lovely city 💙 ❤️
@@FPLMattDay few Italian suburbs here in Perth as well ..Stirling balcatta Osborne park Wanneroo Fremantle, Samson, white gum Valley. Even quite a few around Cannington here where I am
how many times do you want to see a bridge or go to a dirty over crowded beach for quality of life Melbourne is the go
If you like the seasons I guess
Moving in Tugun QLD soon from the UK 🙏🙏
Enjoy.
Hope it goes well, keep us posted
@@ThatJohnstonLife thank you
I started with Kaitlyn so a little out of order but so much fun guys
I'm sure it all still made sense Abe
As a born an bred Perthian, I've been to Brissy, Sydney and Melbourne, all really nice cities, Melbourne has let the homeless takeover, but still like Melbourne all the same. Take the pick that suits you.
Thanks for the insight Peter
"Been" is not having lived in. Deny or confirm.
@@Rhythmattica Confirm, holiday only.
Came here via the Bamfam
Welcome Colin
Sunny Coast all the way!
Not a bad place to live for sure
@@ThatJohnstonLife Maz has visited us at our Eumundi Market business.
If you haven't had a day out there yet I would recommend it.
The best city to live in Australia? That’s easy. Hobart January 2 to February 29 unless it’s a leap year in which case you’ll have to go to Launceston from the 5th to March 7. Melbourne for 4 days in April. Adelaide on the 6th 9th and 17th of May. Perth in June but not on the 20th or the 23rd. Brisbane on July 9th-16th and Sydney September 15th only.
Very specific
Being an ex POM of 42 years Iam now 65, it would have been great if you had someone from Melbourne, Adelaide (where I live), Tasmania and Darwin.
21 yrs. Probably going to move to Brisbane next year to study!
Love this, battle of the cities but the Poms goin at it 🤣
being a Kiwi living in Melbourne this is the place to be
Need to find someone from Melbourne with a UA-cam channel to do the comparison
Ross- have you tried the buses - the underground/bus lanes are really good - give them ago
Mainly a train guy
Oz saw its best days in the 80s. Since rabid feminism and Wokism took over about 15 years ago it's been all downhill - same with most Anglo-Saxon countries. Sad. But it doesn't impact too hard on me. 20 years ago I voted with my feet and went to live in Vietnam. This has ten times the personal freedom Oz has these days. Cheers.
Climate wise I rejected it irrationally but Sydney kills all objections.
I think there's a climate for everyone in Australia
Sydney is WOW!
In Vic you can also load money on your card via the app
Thanks for the tip
OMG. Love this video…but no Melbourne! While I’m moving back to Brissie (which I also love but for different reasons), Melbourne has a special place in my heart as I lived there for a few years too. Hope you do a video down the line about some of the other cities too, like Adelaide ( boring!), Perth (are they even Australian?) Darwin ( just, why?) actually I could go on about every city…lol
what about best affordable place for a family...as well as best place for family to grow up
Adelaide South Australia. The quiet achievers. 2021 third most liveable city in the world.👍🤠🇦🇺
No contest. It’s Adelaide!
Would love to chat to someone over there to get their perspective!
Easy winner.🎉😅
Adelaide is good.
Shut up! We don’t want to spoil the Adelaide tranquility and life style with more outsiders😂. I live as far from the country as you can get, but am only 30 minutes from it, in any direction and have the beach one suburb away. Try that in any other city of 1.3 million people.
Perth for the win. Humidity and rain , on the east coast all summer is 👎
Perth and Brisbane are pretty much identical
Hi, do you feel safer in aus than the UK. My friend is there atm and has put me off saying shes heard of lots of crime & its not like you see on social media etc, we want to come out on a skilled visa im a hc professional with our toddler to give him a better chance now im thinking has social media influenced me wrong :(
Crime exists everywhere. My family feels much safer where we are in Australia compared to where we lived in the UK.
The main differences I find with crime in Australia are;
Less reported and unreported violent crime
When there is voilent/serious crime it seems they mostly catch the perpetrators
Less antisocial behaviour (although it still occurs) from younger people, who seem to be on the whole more respectful
If you or anyone else you know feels differently to my opinion, maybe you live in a sh*t area.
I didn't move my family to the other side of the world to live worse off and raise my kids to be less than we are.
@@ThatJohnstonLife thank you! Im feeling more unsafe here by the day with whats happening its getting worse here, i need to stop letting others put me off and go off whats important to my family,
@@elozzaa7456 that's a great attitude to have
All cities will have areas people would like to avoid. I'm in Perth, there are no "no go" areas that I am aware of, but certainly some suburbs you don't want to live in and some alleyways you don't walk down at 2 in the morning, otherwise crime is low, and it's mostly petty car break ins or burglary, very little attacks on people. Northern Australia coastal and inland towns however can be a different story.
@@peterschmidt1453 whats the “best” suburbs in perth if thats possible to say? Thank you
Everyone knows the best state to be in is WA or pissed no contest
Maybe now "shut the border" is off 😆 🤣
@@ThatJohnstonLife Victoria was the most locked down state on the planet so I dunno why people crap on about WA being locked down.
Ross sounds like he should be a used car salesman 😜😂
Wanna buy one? I've got some deals
@@ThatJohnstonLife nah mate I already work in big car dealership. 😜
Al these people need to go to other places for a while to obtain a rounded perspective of living in Oz.
I mean, the whole point of the video is to share our experiences because we do have a biased view, but you're right, we do need to get out more
it will be nice to put the city on the screen
If you knew what the city was you wouldn't click. Life's a journey of discovery, don't ruin it by knowing everything too soon
@@ThatJohnstonLife haha, true!
@@ThatJohnstonLife no i mean in the video itself. i forget where everyone lives😅
Newcastle is the place that has everything. Most underrated for sure.
And what about Melbourne, voted the 'most liveable city' numerous times!?
None of us luve there
Cairns is the place to live .
Brisbane Vs Sydney vs the Sunshine Coast? Righto....hardly an insight
Happy to help champ
Sorry, you lost me early, 3 people that only seem to know about one fiftieth of Australia, trying to say which is the best CITY to live in, and doesn't mention Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart or Melbourne, I'm afraid just doesn't sound like you have a fair and unbiased opinion and the subject. Maybe when you have lived here for 20 years and seen more of the country you could try this again.
Thanks Maureen, I'll be sure to visit around and get back to you in 16 years time
A nod to the editor btw. SYDNEY! …
Nah don’t live there (could’ve tho - interviewed and got offered a job there but someone else didn’t want to move).
Bloody Brisbane - BORING! Nah don’t start Born Bred Worked in the damn place - my right to implicate Brisbane is boring - it’s a fact.
Love Noosa but was a little scary to envisage kids gaining employment after school there so …
SYDNEY! Woo hoo!
Yeah i’m bored.
Thanks Sam. Appreciate the comment
Are you looking to start a civil war, mate? 😅 Everyone is biased...can't imagine me ever moving from Sydney. Best climate of all the states. Not freezing, not boiling hot either...& the beaches ⛱️ 😎 We have countryside as well Ross 😉
Sydney best climate?🤣🤣. Give me QLD anyday....
Sydney is great, no doubt.
I also don't think the Australian mindset would allow for a civil war. Too easy going. It’s un-Australian to care too much about what other people think
And even if it did start a war, we'd all give up in the summer anyway
@@harperproperties1306 Sure, if hot weather is what you want. I like my 4 seasons...
@@ThatJohnstonLife 😁😁
Sorry but you guys lost me on this video, you say best place to live in Australia and you made no commentary about Melbourne!
Melbourne is commonly known as having the best food, best fashion, best mountains, best CBD, best live entertainment.
None of us live there. Bit would love to collaborate with someone who does
@@ThatJohnstonLife sorry I’m not a content creator but I’m sure you would have no trouble finding and collaborating with a Melbourne based person.
Well I can tell you it ain't Canberra. 😂
😆 🤣
Keep thinking that. That way we keep it all to ourselves.
Its regularly rates very highly in standard of living though. Most of the hate for Canberra is based on stuff like weather or the beach, yet we get more sunny days than Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. Also as quick to the beach from Canberra as it is from Western Sydney.
Brisbane is the best, end of story! 😂😂 I just hope we don't end up like Sydney
Lets hope not!
Lived in Brisbane. Not my cup of tea.
Hang on how would you guys know the answer to this question...you live in QLD for goodness sake! I've lived in three different state and it really depends on what you want/need for the lifestyle you wish to live. Brisbane has NOTHING to offer me (lived there 2X). The Gold Coast is the crime capital of Australia and is very touristy, so no thanks. The Sunshine Coast is fantastic and I could live there, except QLD has too much corruption. The same is true for Melbourne (Dictator Dan), but I could easily live elsewhere in VIC. Perth is fantastic, but I'd have trouble deciding where to live, it's nice everywhere. NT, it's too hot. South Australia is great but is so far away from anywhere and the Govt. there sucks, having no idea how to run anything, so it's a no from me there.
Seems to me that Perth it’s winner, I’d add a point for the closenesses to Asia
@@beau_de_jour Ah yes that is true...if you liked going to Asia.
Thanks for sharing your opinion
@@ThatJohnstonLife I appreciate your reply. I know I sound down on most places but, the Govt.s of Australia are ruining this country! Even the guy in WA has stepped down because he has stuffed up. There are some nice spots, but you still have to live with the Govt. in those states. Try running your own business and see what I mean.
Mr. Johnston,
So then, why do you think a lot of UK doctors have returned or are returning to UK?
Why do you think you've asked a provocative question, implying there are a significant number of doctors, without referencing a source?
@@ThatJohnstonLife Mr. Johnston, First of all, I would like to apologize to you, if you had found my question provocative.
Sorry, I did not mean to provoke you. I asked you that question because I have been watching a number of UA-cam channels, like yours', from Australia that belong to UK doctors in Australia. God Bless.
Perth 💪💛💚🇦🇺
