Yes, I'm an Aussie - are you thinking of coming here?
My best friend is from Boston - she says the difference between American men and Australian men is that if you were sinking on the Titanic, an American man would push you out of the way to get on the lifeboat - an aussie man would give up his spot for you.
We are laid back and a bit lazy - get stressed if we are too busy. Enjoy barbeques and time with family. You HAVE to eat and like vegemite - it is a tradition!
There are heaps of beautiful places to see and things to do - you can even cuddle a koala if you like.
I love Australia - I'm glad I live here - sometimes I dream of the facilities or products there are available in the USA, but then think, nahh, Australia is so worth it even without all that stuff.
We have every imaginable scenery, and amazing friendly people.

G'day,

I am an immigrant and have been living in Melbourne for 17 years and never regret the move at all. I do not have Anglo-Saxon appearance, I speak English with an accent and I still feel like I am born in this country all along. My neighbors are combinations of immigrants and true blue Aussies and we are getting along very well. Racism will always be there in any country, but I definitely do not feel it here.

Now... I know that you posted this question in Sydney, but as you might have known, Melbourne is the 2nd biggest city in Australia (after Sydney) and this is what I can say about Melbourne:
1. First of all... some people do not like the weather in Melbourne (you can have 4 seasons in one day). However, if you read the first article from The Age newspaper, you will find out that the weather is still more preferable than the other cities. Sure you can have 42C day in summer, but almost immediately you'll get a much cooler weather pretty soon afterwards. It is very rarely that you got 2 or 3 consecutive days of hot weathers (unlike Sydney, Brisbane or Perth).
2. Melbourne is a city of diversity. If you are a newcomer, and you do not look 'Anglo-Saxon', you do not feel like an 'alien', since you can find almost every race in the world walking in the city. They are both immigrants and overseas students.
3. THE FOOD!! Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Thai, All-you-can-eat, African, Lebanese, Mexican, Sea Food... anything else? All available and lots of them in a very-very-very affordable price
4. Pretty good public transport system. With one ticket, you can switch from train, tram and bus. They do not always come on-time, but still reliable and improving (www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au).
5. SHOPPING!!! Original branded clothing sold very cheap. There are even shopping tour, where the participants are taken to retails outlets just for shopping. Big temptations for ladies.
6. Crime rates... just read the second article on the bottom.
7. Cost of Living... I'll say it's second most expensive city after Sydney. Altho I have to say that some cities in Queensland can be more expensive to live.
8. Tourist attraction. This is the area that I think Sydney is better than Melbourne, since it has most of it's attraction within its suburbs. Most Melbourne attraction are pretty much out of Melbourne, such as the gold mines in the cities of Bendigo and Ballarat, The Great Ocean Road, Lakes Entrance, Grampians, skiing in Mt. Buller etc.

Welcome to Australia and enjoy :)
