: Thanks
Hello,
I have been to Australia and I have been stayed in Brisbane, Sydney, Cairns,
Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide.
Donエt stay in Cairns. Itエs very touristy and small. Nice to go to the reef but
after a few days it gets boring.
My favourite city is Sydney. Itエs still quite nice even in Winter.
There is a lot of things to do in and around the city.
Brisbane is more like a business city. It is a sort of quieter city then Sydney or Melbourne.
Very pleasant temperature even in Winter.
Melbourne is THE city if you want to enjoy the nightlife. It has several nice clubs and bars.
It is quieter then Sydney though.
Adelaide again is smaller then Sydney and Melbourne. I have no idea on the nightlife. In my opinion
less then Sydney or Melbourne.
Canberra, donエt go there. Itエs nice for two days
without a car and nice up till a week if you do have a car.
So I would either choose between Sydney or Melbourne. Depending on the people you know there.
I hope this helps!
Regards
Merijn
