Thanks for watching! Which of these Australian cities would you love to live in, or is there another one that should've made the list? Let me know in the comments below!
I absolutely loved Perth on my first visit and would definitely consider moving here one day. It is like Sydney with far less traffic, people and the shenanigans of a global city. It is also more affordable, though I have heard its health system is not on par with the rest of the country. Another benefit is its time zone, which is more on par with Asian cities such as Singapore and Tokyo
@@Dobuan75 Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear this from an Aussie. It's awesome to know it resonates well with locals. Appreciate the kind words and the support!🙌🙌🙌
Born in Sydney, moved to Bundaberg, then Townsville. Townsville is great, largest city in Northern Australia. . It has everything. But if we could get rid of youth crime that would be a plus.
@@KenAndrew-f9j Thanks for sharing your experience! Townsville sounds like an incredible place with so much to offer. I hear you about the youth crime issue-hopefully, that's something that can improve over time
Recently moved from Sydney to Newcastle. Good beaches, not too dense living, Market Town, Kotara, Charlestown and Bennett’s Green have everything you need. Ferry across the Hunter for a relaxing walk, good coffee, and great Fish and Chips. No tolls!!!
@@anEyePhil Newcastle sounds like a great spot with all the essentials covered! Good beaches and no tolls definitely make it appealing. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I was glad to see such a focus on the regional centres. There are so many opportunities in the large regional towns/smaller cities, but many coming to our shores barely look past the big 5. The Hunter Valley (which Newcastle is part of) has a multitude of job opportunites whether in heavy industry (Mining and supporting sectors), transport, tourism, health care, hospitality etc. Someone could live in a rural setting like Seaham and easily commute into Newcastle or Lake Macquarie for work.
@@djt6012 Absolutely! Regional centers like Newcastle have so much to offer, and it’s great to see how accessible rural areas can be for work and lifestyle. These spots really deserve more attention!
The problem with having Sydney as one city in these rankings is that it's so large and sprawling, it's really two metropolitan areas. East and west. The Sydney CBD, eastern, southern, and inner west suburbs, along with the northern beaches and Sutherland shire make up one half of Sydney. The western, north west, south west, Hawksbury district, Macarthur region, and lower Blue Mountains make up Great Western Sydney. It's a powerhousececonomy in its own right, has a huge population, more affordable housing, and with the continued decentralisation of government departments, more job opportunities. With the international airport set to open in a year, and the planned aerotropolis, the greater west has a positive future. Don't bundle all of Sydney into one category.
@@planetcountryradio8622 Valid point, and I totally get where you're coming from! I wanted to focus on cities in this video rather than breaking down specific areas within a city. But you've definitely given me some food for thought for future videos. Thanks for your input!
informative video. Must mention however, just 10 mins north of Brisi, the Sunshine Coast in QLD boasts greater quality of living away from the crime and chaos of a tourist-overrun Gold Coast
I'm surprised that Fremantle WA didn't make the list... I'm not even from WA but I've been around the country and expected to see Fremantle on this list.
@@MrLordSandwich Absolutely! It’s tough making a list like this without missing out on some amazing spots like Fremantle. I’ll have more Australia-focused videos coming soon, so keep an eye out!
@@daweilaotou1269 AFAIK, the definition of a 'city' in Australia varies between states, and the distinction between town, city, and other settlements can be blurry. According to the sources I checked, the number of cities can range from about 80 to nearly 400 depending on the criteria used. But even if you consider only 30 cities, it's still possible to pick 21 of the best 😉
Depends what the classification is for cities. Some classify a population of over 50,000 a city, example Nowra/Bomaderry is classified officially as a city same with Wagga Wagga, that's officially a city.
Got the money? Anywhere is nice. Otherwise nice place to visit , terrible place to live. Like Wollongong, was a nice town with the best beaches no one wanted to come near. That was how we liked it. Then some people from Sydney with a lot of money decided Wollongong was the place to live, small, got yhe beaches and the mountains and close to Sydney. So come down and join us and bring your money down because we've just bought every beachside suburb and we'll sell it to you for four times as much. Stuff the locals, Wollongong is now southern Sydney now, that'll keep the money flowing.
If you have wealth its a great advantage a good job investments contacts own home etc!...but none of these you might as well stay where you are the most expensive places you dont want to stay is Melbourne nanny state ripoff place
@@ianneill1400 True, I should have mentioned that! Darwin has a crime index of 61, which is really high-even higher than Sydney. Sorry for missing that!
sorry don't agree with your reviews. Perth??? Too far away from the East Coast of Aus. Sydney number 2 - from Sydney umm yeh!????Melbourne very nice city but too much crime and don't like their gov. So other regional cities such as Albury Wodonga and Orange didn't make the cut. I'm sure there are more satellite cities that are great to live in. All cities around Australia have their pros and cons so you can't really rate them
@@dulcinealee3933 Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I totally respect your view, and I agree that every city has its pros and cons. This list is definitely subjective, and I completely understand that not everyone will agree with it. But hey, that's the beauty of it-it starts a great discussion! 😊
Adelaide is the best city in Australia. Liveable- stunningly beautiful and easy to live in. Bugger all parking meters anywhere, wonderful treelined streets and parks everywhere and lovely weather. Amazing architecture, City beaches- the Adelaide Hills which are the State's oasis, wineries and all close to the city. We emigrated from Melbourne- haven't looked back.
@@Renny1953 Adelaide really does sound amazing! The combination of beautiful architecture, beaches, and nature must make it such a unique place to live. I can see why you haven't looked back after moving from Melbourne. Thanks for sharing your experience!❤️🙌
17 seconds in and you are so wrong, e.g an 1/8 of a watermelon is about six dollars U.S a pack of smokes will cost seventy dollars U.S. Rent is extreme, owning a house now is a joke unless you're a millionaire or already own a house and finding a job is ridiculous unless you are from India. Welcome to the after covid Australia.
I just commented Australia is expensive if your not broke yet the Government and all there corporates will bleed you dried beyond belief absolutely disgusting Melbourne is a greedy state they don't give a dame about you unless your a company
@@k.vn.k And smoking rates are brilliantly low thanks to excellent policies like price. Paying for them is entirely voluntary, as is dying of lung cancer.
@@Big_chungis Absolutely! No city is without its flaws, but it's about appreciating the positives and knowing perfection doesn't exist. It's all about balance

Well done. 👏👏👏

Great to hear a US person getting the pronunciations mostly right! 🙂
@@FredPilcher Thanks so much! I tried my best to get them right. Glad to hear it was mostly accurate 😊

Have to agree with you. I also consider the Sunshine Coast superior to the Gold Coast.
Only taking into small factors. Transport ? Coffee< Crayfish ? ( GO Tassie) etc etc

I don't think there are more than half a dozen CITIES in Australia. Some nice towns maybe but cities?!

They are all cities the smallest city on this list is Mackay and that's around 80k to 90k in. In Australia city is only having 25k
Any place is good if you're rich
@@Terry-ft7ls Good point! Every place has its own unique appeal, though

Perth is amazing. Dont be jealous
Being far from the east coast is a big plus for perth.
@@rsutherland42 💯 😆
Perth is a few minutes from the rest of the world, you have NZ. That's it.
The only thing is that living here for an extended period will be enough to make you leave.
Ballarat is good
Bendigo is the biggest dump ever. The whole victoria is a shit hole but bendigo takes it to a new level

Geelong is great. Love the people ❤
Sydney should not have ranked above Melbourne It’s Australia’s shit hole. They must have sponsored this video
Perth is too isolated

Where you have so many cousins you never met ?
All shit government control😂😂😂
Ya full of it every city in Australia has different problems and to sit here and say it’s awesome ya full of crap 💩 they are designed to
nowhere is perfect, but it's really pretty good. Accentuate the positive please.
