G'day,

Ohhh... Melbourne... well... this is what I can say...
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. 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.
7. 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.

Is that sufficient? Is that brunette enuf ;)

If you describe for "blonde = stupid" and "brunette = clever" then you're right.

Ok, mates, go and give me thumbs down. Thanks.
Made my own experience in both cities that's why I know what I'm talking about.

Sydney has the Opera House and Harbour (bridge) and a couple of nice beaches. They wow everyone and make a big impression - like a sexy blonde.

But Melbourne has beautiful parks, great cafes, restaurants and bars, every sporting event under the sun, and some of the best shopping in the world. A cosmopolitan atmosphere. It has the AFL Grand Final, The Comedy Festival, The Melbourne Cup, The Grand Prix, The Australian Open Tennis....we even had the Commonwealth Games. It is classy and cultured, and doesn't try too hard to be noticed - like a brunette.

I would say Sydney is a wonderful place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there (unless I could live on the Harbour) while Melbourne is a wonderful place to live but I wouldn't want to visit there.

not true at all! i've lived in both cities and generalisations like that have no truth to them.

they are both beautiful cities and definitely worth a visit, it doesn't matter which is blonde and which is brunette. In fact, Australia is a very multicultural society so it is in no way limited to just blonde and brunette.

It makes sence if you are upside down I suppose.
