It is on top because it has great access to education, high life expectation and socioeconomic well-being.

While moving to Australia permanently can be challenging for some due to their relatively strict set of requirements for migrants, however student or working visas are easier to come by. Overall, Australia is very expensive country to live, But due to its increasing job opportunities and high wages it remains a popular choice among Students and Expats alike.

I recently got my Permanent Residence as a Nurse from UK. I just got back from a reccy trip to Brisbane and was blown away by how relaxed it was, endless hikes and walks not far from the city/suburbs and only 45mins drive to north there was Bribie Island with a lovely beach. Gorgeous place and can't wait to get back and stay permanent.

As a migrant of 10years in Australia, we've settled in Adelaide. Started in Sydney (financial trap and rat race) went to Brisbane, then Cairns- probably the most lush part of the country, locals come first in terms of employment opportunities which is fair enough, just something to be aware of. Then moved to Perth- best beaches by far, way too sprawled out for me though when public transport isn't nearly as frequent as other states, takes too long to get from A to B with no traffic! Moved to Broome - if you're unsettled/ backpacking, try do a stint here! It's the Bali of Australia, tropical style resorts, beautiful beaches and the most laid back place on the continent. Lots of hospitality employment options too that include accommodation. Then went back to Sydney for family connections of my partner and we started a family. The new family dynamic is what made us choose Adelaide. More like a big country town but with all the amenities you could need, great schools, property prices a fraction of the bigger cities and plenty of employment opportunities in all sectors with little to no difference on income expectation compared to the big cities. Thanks for the opportunities Straya😊🇦🇺🪃

I lived in Sydney and right now I’m watching this from the Gold Coast and it’s so beautiful here

[PTPavlos]

Been to all of those places and loved every one of them. Have to say I would have Adelaide as number 1, Melbourne as number 2 and Gold Coast as number 3, Brisbane and Brisbane as number 4. Everything else is spot on. Good job!

I was fortunate enough to be born in 1949 at Victor Harbour South Australia. Lived on a dairy farm till 7yrs old then the family moved to GLENELG BEACH in Adelaide.
I was very fortunate as i have travelled to other countries and would never want to live anywhere else.

Adelaide is a beautiful city with a more laid back lifestyle. Well planned city with lots of beautiful gardens. No 1 choice.

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.

I live in Perth and travelled in every state and around the world, but Perth is the best place to live for me when you go on holidays for a month ready to come home to my lovely home .thanks Australia, the best place in the world .

So i'm Aussie living in western Sydney and I have to mention that you generally want to avoid living in the city due to high housing cost and you'll be forced to live in an apartment which some people prefer but i highly dislike because you'll be cramped. I know this because my uncle bought a tiny apartment in a large building for about $1.5 million AUD which I thought was a ripoff since it's tiny and pathetic and you have to deal with neighbours and the only upside is that there's a beautiful view of the city but in my opinion it isn't worth it, so I recommend to stick with suburbs and an actual house if you plan to move to Australia. Cheers

I am absolutely fortunate to be living in Australia because of the laidback lifestyle. Job opportunities, healthcares, education and many more to offer for an exuberant lifestyle. It is well-known for its larger landscapes, natural wonders, beaches and desserts. I love to live in Perth due to sunny beaches, small city, and it's least competitive. Plus on a hindsight, it is close to Singapore and Bali.

I lived in Australia from 1970 to 1979 and it was wonderful. Beautiful beaches, good food, Mediterranean in that you take your basket with you after work and visit the fruit market, butcher, baker and have a one on one relationship with them. Free medical, great transportation. I lived down at Palm Beach and you have busses that take you to Sydney so you can shop or take the ferry or hydrofoil across the bay from Manly Warf. Magical place. You are indeed fortunate to live there. My mom is Australian and she married a Yank.

I’m moving to Australia this year, can’t wait

My wife and I have lived in all the listed locations with the exception of Hobart, this is not a list of the top places to live in Australia by any stretch of the imagination. Having travelled extensively in Australia some more likely candidates would be ; The Atherton Tableland, Toowoomba, Hervey Bay, Rutherglen, The Mornington Peninsula and so many more locations more attractive than the big cities. Have you ever been to the land of OZ ?

[OntarioAndrews]

Well done. Thank you for posting/sharing. Cheers!

Australia is globally famous for its natural wonders, wide-open spaces, beaches, deserts, "The Bush", and "The Outback". Australia is one of the world's most highly urbanised countries; it's well known for its attractive mega cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.

As a Canadian we have similar history .I was just talking to someone from Australia that moved here from there. I asked him why I hate the cold, wondering how as a Canadian I can move there?
