I love Sydney, but wouldn't live there on a bet. If I couldn't live here in Adelaide, I'd probably live in Canada (mum was Canadian and I've been there a couple of times) Or England ; spent a bit of time there and loved it before that bleached blond bloke with the cultivated scruffy look was put in charge. London is my favourite city, but I'd probably live somewhere like Cambridgeshire.
I'm from Sydney but home is Melbourne.
That's where I went to Uni, where I have my house, and where I intend to return
That makes sense. I've always loved Melbourne. Was there for work in 1966. Lived in a boarding house at Richmond. Was poor but didn't know it. Too busy having a good time, the joint was jumping. 'Holes-in-the-wall-with-music' where everywhere, plus some of the big places such as Mod Mentone. My favourite place was The Thumpin' Tum. Little Burke St I think. I especially remember The Levi Smith's Clefs , with the wonderful Tweed Harris. Also Renee Gayer I think. For my money, the most original band to come out of Melbourne at that time was The Loved Ones. A badly unappreciated group imo.
Sorry, didn't mean to go down that rabbit hole.
My baby sister has lived in Melbourne for over 40 years. Right now she hates it because of the Cov19 restrictions
