The 'Best City in Australia'

[Gunnar Smithsen]

Has anyone else received an invitation to an Singapore Airlines event in Melbourne later this month to celebrate SQ's 40th anniversary of flights into the best city in Australia?

Now where did I put my flame thrower emoticon...

The emoticon you are looking for is in the trunk of the cars of the hoons who do burnouts on George street on Friday nights.

How can Melbourne be the best city in Australia, unless SQflyergirl is there! West is best...Perth

My vote goes to BNE... Great weather, not as crowded as MEL or SYD, and not as boring at PER!

Ahhh yes now I remember, I got rolled - i mean relieved of it - whilst walking down the main drag minding my own business by a couple of - I mean a dozen or so - entertainingly charming youth... I must remember to call Surry Hills Police station to have it returned after the matter is dealt with in court

As for PER, I think PER is only good for one thing... The Little Creatures Brewing Company...

I'm glad no-one from ADL has piped up to claim the title using the 'only capital city in Australia not settled with convict labour' line...

Gosh, but I must admit, I do love visiting ADL, they're an interesting bunch and I don't much care for their beer prices but the fact that there are so many different wine regions within in an easy driving distance... Sells itself really...

And to get this mildly back on topic, not being a MEL resident, I did not receive such an invitation...

Only one thing? What about Swan Valley, some nice wines down there.

Of all the people to invite, I think I'd be way down the list...

WA produces some of the best Cab Savs ever. The OH and I agree that if there's any other city in Australia we could see ourselves living in, it'll be Perth. Though Launceston (the Tamar Valley region in particular) does feature prominently in our retirement/doomsday plans from time to time.

I find the bogan quotient in Brisbane to be a little on the high side. *ducks* Sydney is a fab place to visit, but away from the beautiful harbour and the 3 or 4 'it' bars and restaurants, there's something staid and mundane about the city.

Great weather in BNE? rubbish

Thank goodness you don't speak for the rest of the Ozzies, mate... disagree wholeheartedly... Sydney clearly is boganville.

Lived in Brisbane from age 6 to 19, couldn't wait to get out. Age 19 I moved to Melbourne - would not live anywhere else in Australia.

That might be true in certain bits, but Brisbane still feels more Johnny-come-lately. Though I did go up there for the Valentino exhibition....

Does everyone here understand Australian! If not they will not know what bogan means. I will try my best here, but the English word won`t help so here we go. Bogan is Australian slang for someone from a lower class background or those with limited education/behaviour that would lead you to think they come from such a background.

+1 I hate living in Brisbane.

+1 Finally someone understands how bad Brisbane is !!

I gotta get my butt out of this place.

Save the popcorn for when someone starts a thread on 'Best suburb in <insert city>'... Came across a few whilst browsing real estate forums and boy do they get heated, makes the 'best city' threads seem like humming kumbaya.
