Melbourne though a cosmopolitan, is quite different than Sydney. From the moment you arrive, you can tell the differences. Cost of living is also less than Sydney, but not less interesting. The city center is located in an rectangular area and moving around is fairly easy.
I experienced the "four seasons in a day" on my road trip to the Great Ocean Road where it rained buckets one moment and the sun shined brightly the next. Still, Melbourne is an appealing city with many lovely treasures to discover, from the people to the places
- Pros:Comfortable & easy to move around
- Cons:The ever changing weather!
- In a nutshell:Nice place to live
