The 'Best City in Australia'

[Nick C]

That should go to (almost) all towns in Tasmania...

Blimey! I didn't know that Tasmania was part of Australia.

[QUOTE=Gunnar Smithsen;141223]Is that adding to the 'bogan list'

I will putting them up as best cities in Australia though Parramatta, Logan and Collingwood are not really cities.

There was a really good commercial for Boags beer a number of years ago showing a group of Tasmanians trying to break the island free from the mainland.

As you all debate the various pros and cons of cities on the West Island of NZ, I sit here in the jewel of the Pacific, and content myself in the knowledge that Auckland is indeed the city that beats all of them. We have our share of bogans, of course, but I suspect they are mostly of Australian parentage

PS I know this is OT but couldn't resist. Just ignore me.
PPS Just to balance things up a bit, I also know that many of the bogans in Australia's fair cities hail from this side of the Tasman

I wonder if SQflyergirl has found my flame throwing emoticon...

AKL is far from anything remotely resembling a jewel in the pacific

No arguments from me on that one.

But I do quite like Wellington.

Actually, that's very funny! Thanks NickC

And back OT - Melbourne for me.

[SQTalked]

Having lived in a few Australian cities, i find all the cities quite similar and 'burbs virtually the same. Shopping is usually underwhelming and often overpriced. But what makes Australia memorable is the great food and wine.

If i had to choose one city, Melbourne gets the nod. Like we say in the UK, Melbourne more cultured and less Chavvy (less bogan-ny).

Having said all that, i have to admit i hate Australian Customs with a vengeance! Ditto British immigration.

I don't really have a fav candidate for best Ozzie city...

Haven't had any dummy spits replayed on "Border Security" - Australian TV show about Customs and Border Protection Officers in Australia or "Customs" - British version, have you?

Always love a good dummy spit on those shows
