It all depends on your lifestyle really..The cheapest places to live are brisbane, adelaide and tasmania .......sydney and melbourne are very very expensive perth isnt too bad depends what part you live in and its very laid back also depends what weather you are used too as well queensland is hot but can get slightly cool melbourne is ok but can be freezing perth is good but watch out for the doctor its a cold blast wind chills you ... and Darwin well its stinkin hot but laid back so if you like the heat queensland and the northern territory are the go if not then head south.. good luck

Answer 2

You should take a trip to the Blue Mountains for the day. Go to Taronga Zoo, one of the most beautiful zoos in the world. Take a walk from Circular Quay up Argyle St under the Sydney Harbour Bridge approaches to Observatory Hill. The view from the top is well worth the walk and the Observatory is worth seeing. Stroll down the hill to the Lord Nelson Hotel where they brew their own beer. Walk back towards the Bridge and turn left at the Garrison Church which is worth a visit. Carry on down the hill past the hero of Waterloo hotel, Australia's oldest pub. Stop for a beer if you feel thirsty then continue down to Dawes Point under the Bridge. Follow the sea wall round to the Overseas Passenger Terminal and the Museum of Contemporary art back to Circular Quay. carry on round to the Opera House and then through the Botanic Gardens to Mrs Macquarie's chair. You can get a red bus back to the city if you are feeling a bit tired by then. It is a lovely walk. Take the ferry to Manly. Walk down the Corso to Manly Beach and have fish and chips on the beach. Go to Bondi and see Australia's most famous beach. Macquaries St has some of Australia's oldest civic buildings with the Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney Hospital, Parliament House and the State library. The Australian museum is just up the road in College St. Other museums include the Powerhouse and the Maritime Museums, both near or in Darling Harbour and there is always the Art gallery. You should Google "What's on in Sydney" to find any particular events that are on while you are there that you might want to go to. You could spend weeks in Sydney, it is Australia's biggest and oldest city and the most beautiful. Melbourne is a fine city too but it isn't a patch on Sydney.
