Sydney VS Melbourne
August 18th 2007 01:53
Sydney Vs Melbourne - the battle of these two cities has been raging for many years.
Both states claim to hold the crown but what is it that makes each of these two cities unique in their own rights.
Let me break it down starting with Sydney.....
-Sydney is home to the most famous coat hanger and house in the world
-Sydney is the biggest city population wise in Australia
-Ask tourist to name a city in Australia and guaranteed Sydney is more likely to be the answer than Melbourne - Bondi Beach might play a large part of that but then again the beaches in Sydney deserve their own mention
- Sydney's weather is not as unpredictable as Melbournes
- Then there were the Sydney Olympic Games "the best games ever"
-Sydney has The Rocks - history brings the first settlers and convicts here
-Off course Sydney also hosts the best fire works in the world come New Years Eve
In comparison, lets look at Melbourne.
- Melbourne well known for it's nightlife and diverse culture
- Melbourne brought us AFL and men in little tight shorts
-Melbourne is named after the queens first Prime Minister Lord Melbourne - hence has royal connections (do we really care? Do Melbournites even know this?)
-Melbourne hosts the Melbourne Cup
- Melbourne is cheaper to live in than Sydney
There are many points that i have not mentioned here and sure there were many more i did not know until i did some research. Most net sites including Wikepedia rate Melbourne as having the upper hand but think about it realistic and exclude landmark features and restaurants, if everyone can truly afford it wouldn't Sydney be the number 1 choice?
Feel free to agree or disgree with me.....
