I am originally from UK and have lived in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. Settled down now in Perth not going to move anymore. Perth is a beautiful beautiful place to live. I love the beaches, public transport, houses, low crime rates, great economy lot of jobs etc.

I must have missed the part where Queensland became Australia's most populous state 🙄

I Have lived in several places in Australia, actually lived there and spent time in many other great places. Melbourne 11 years Sydney10 years, Canberra 2 years and Bellingen for 4 years. Spent time in Hobart, Perth, the Gold Coast and Port Douglas. I enjoyed all of theses places for all different reasons. Not sure if your perspective is accurate.

I live in Brisbane, Australia and I personally feel that it is one of the most liveable cities and very peaceful with a low population but still has all the big city amenities. Probably what Sydney/Melbourne used to be 20 years or so ago. Its all about the branding on a global scale - that Sydney and Melbourne are the best cities in Australia so they're growing rapidly at 100k+ people added per year and that is contributing to rising house prices. Brisbane is relatively more affordable on that front and does have exciting places such as the Goldcoast and the Sunshine Coast on its doorstep. Not to mention the fantastic all-year round sunny weather. It is only lacking in public transport and infrastructure and a bit of entertainment/culture but that is soon to change in the lead up to the 2032 Olympics with Queens Wharf, Brisbane Metro, Waterfront Brisbane and Cross River Rail.

What a load of crap. Byron Bay, Sydney and Melbourne would be the most expensive cities you could possibly pick to live in in the whole country. Not to mention the traffic in both Melbourne & Sydney (although Melbourne public transport is very good). You would be lucky to find a property in Byron under several million dollars and average property prices in Sydney and Melbourne are well over A$1m dollars. Adelaide and Perth would the pick of the cities if you were concerned about the price of property but are both more liveable because of the traffic. Adelaide in particular has a booming defence and education sectors. Both the Gold Coast and Brisbane (although fantastic weather) offer limited job options and the traffic for both is a basket case. My honest opinion from someone who has lived in Hobart, Adelaide, Melbourne & the Gold Coast and worked regularly in Hobart, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne is that the gem cities to live and work would be Adelaide, Perth & Hobart. Unless you LOVE, congested and expensive cities.

I just left Sydney after 57 years of living there, and I moved to Brisbane (outside the city).Sydney is not a little on the HIGH SIDE!It is totally out-of-control side Unless you have a six figure job, you can not afford the rents or to buy. One of the 'worse' places to live outside the city, and hrs drive say from Sydney has homes for sale just under Half a Million dollars!! Believe me no one wants to live in that place. The roads are always full...road rage is a problem, no manners with anyone, and drivers do NOT let you in if merging. Sydney was once a wonderful place, now it is an impossible place. A ordinary home will set you back close to $900, 000!. No joke. Sydney has hype from yrs ago, but to even rent you would be very lucky to even find ''anything'' and be prepared to pay hundreds of dollars in rent per week. The people who can live there bought in 15 years ago. They are not leaving because they are on a gold mine. The rent on my old home in Coogee was advertised for $2, 100 PER WEEK. Sure its 4 bedrooms, but it is a 1930's home, and well it's rented at that price, cRaZy is all I can say.

I live in Adelaide and although I do like it. I have plans to eventually move interstate somewhere with my family. I’ve lived in Brisbane and the gold coast and I’m not a huge fan of the bigger cities.

[martingifford]

Beware that Hobart is cold, Perth is extremely remote, and Cairns has lots of dangerous creatures in the water. Sydney has everything you could want except it's crowded and expensive.

Great video, super interesting. As an Australian though there are a few demographic facts that were wrong in this. The most blazingly obvious is that Queensland is not the most populous state in Australia. It is third behind NSW and VIC. Hobart is alst the second least populous capital after Darwin. I can forgive this if you are only considering states but I think Darwin and Canberra deserve their place as capital cities.

What's the crime rates in each of the city?

Melbourne pronounced: Mel-bn, is the best and largest city in Australia.

[darkhawk]

This is pretty good for a video made by an AI.

[randomeditz-z]

Perth iş the best. City in Australia better than every other Australian city

[vishnuvardhanreddy]

Which is best for mba in Australia and part time?

[hannameister]

Sunshine Coast is the answer. There are lots of people here who have moved from Sydney and Melbourne and can’t believe how good it is.

Gold Coast, designed around cars. Cairns & Perth, incredibly remote. Perth is the most remote city in the world. Sydney, way too expensive to live in, hideous traffic. Melbourne, excellent public transport, great cafes and culture, but huge geographically - most people live too far away from the good stuff. Hobart's population is double what he said, if not more, good cafes, culture but expensive housing, hideous traffic, and garbage public transport. Adelaide I know the least, seems to have the advantages of a city but people are still cool.

I've lived in or visited everywhere I've mentioned.

And if you're going to make a video about a place at least learn how to say its name!

Love Cairns - but it does get a lot of tropical storms... I live in Canberra - best place to live in Australia!
