god i love this community...Don't you lot start. It's bad enough listening to Sydney and Melbourne
we won't even bother discussing Adelaide, we know how bad that makes Mad Jew feel
Adelaide.
The mere mention of the city makes everyone just look wistfully crestfallen into the distance, sigh and shake their head as if to say "there but for the grace of god go I."
Like people do when those ads for sponsoring 3rd world kids come on.
Me and misses are thinking of emigrating to Oz from the UK. Dare I ask what you favourite parts are and why?
People here seem to recommend Melbourne and Brisbane as Syndey is expensive?

If you're a nature lover, then Venezuela has a bit of everything. Beaches (some of the world's finest), deserts, mountains, plains, jungles and probably the most amazing palce on earth, Canaima. The hike up to Angel Falls is breathtaking.
Bourke I believe is the happening place in Australia.(or somewhere to the back of it anyway).
Nah, Bourke pales in comparison to Marble Bar.
In 1924, for 161 consecutive days, the temperature in Marble Bar never dropped below 100°F (37.8°C). Not even at night.
In the history of records it has never been below 0°C (32°F) in Marble Bar. Ever. That's pretty amazing for a desert town - they get pretty chilly at night in winter - even Uluru has had snow on a few occasions.
Here's a poem by Victor Courtney:
Satan sat by the fires of Hell
As from endless time he's sat,
And he sniffed great draughts of the brimstone's smell
That came as the tongue-flames spat;
Then all at once the devil looked stern
For there in the depths of Hell
Was a fellow whom never a flame could burn
Or goad to an anguished yell;
So Satan stalked to the lonely scene
And growled with a stormy brow,
'Now, stranger, tell me what does this mean?
You should be well scorched by now.'
But the chappie replied with a laugh quite new;
'This place is too cold by far
Just chuck on an extra log or two
I'VE COME IN FROM MARBLE BAR!
Well, at least you have.........have............ ok, I give up.
Actually, you're right. The towns between Perth and Exmouth are fantastic, especially near Monkey Mia and north of that, near Dolphin Bay (or is that the same place? I forget). Perth is.....well...... I actually want to go back to Western Australia to go swimming with one of these WHALE SHARKS!!
And yes, Adelaide......the City of Churches. *snore* If I ever suffer from insomnia, I know which city to travel to for a good night sleep.
Beautiful place. I'd say that parts of Western Australia, along with Tasmania, are the nicest places I've seen in Australia. New Zealand's southern island is also one of the nicest places in the world. I swear, both Tasmania and New Zealand would be nice places to retire or something. Heck, they'd be fantastic places to live if I could get a job there in my field.
This question is difficult to answer because i don't know whether you talking about nice places for a vacation, to live, etc? Its hard to describe one place very well without going into extremely long posts.
"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life"
London is extremely expensive to visit but its a good place to start if you're cruising around Europe, which I think every American should do at some point in their lives. It explains how their country came to be.

Where's America?
Somewhere near Mexico isn't it?
Yes, north of Mexico. That's how my geography teacher explained it.
Don't come to London. Rents high enough without more people putting pressure on prices
Don't worry, those people can live in Kilburn or Willesden Green.
Notably written before the introduction of bendy-busses and £4 Zone 1 Tube fares
What's wrong with bendy buses? For people like me they mean free transport.
On the other hand, for cyclists they mean impending death.
Why?
Driving along the French motorways is, er...an interesting experience.
(Also, I thought I was going to die in Portugal. The taxi driver was one crazy bugger, who was in one helluva rush to get us to our camp.
)
he, I was just been facetious.
I don't think there's a person on the planet that couldn't identify the US on a map.
