Society/Culture Rate the Australian Capital cities.

What was happening?

Bored youth, drunken bashings, smashed windows, lots of bogan cars with doof (several hundred)
It was a horrible place to live and work.

I spent most of my time hosing down vomit , getting things repaired, ringing the cops and the insurance company.... and that was when I wasnt dealing with the land lords, daughters, boyfriend selling heroin or the local lads, letting off a bomb and shaking the building and blowing out the windows.
and I was in a flash part of town

The vote is very much looking like a representation of where footy supporters come from. Its a joke that perth is second and adelaide third. They are both holes.

Melbourne and canberra should be clear top 2.

Gard dayum you are one miserable sob! When was the last time you cracked a smile?

If you like Canberra you have no soul. One of the most boring places on earth. It's 4 hours round trip to the beach, and 6 hours round trip to the snow or Sydney.

Its true, being that close to Sydney is not a good thing.

As a Queenslander I have to agree that Brisbane is pretty shite. The best state with the worst* capital. The best of Queensland lays outside its capital.

*Poetic license. Not really the worst but definitely doesn't do the rest of the state justice.

 

[raskolnikov]

1. Sydney easily the best.
2. Canberra
3. Adelaide
4. Perth
5. Brisbane
6. Hobart
7. Dubbo
8. Melbourne is a garbage wasteland (read it on bigfooty, must be true).

Sydney Harbour is nice. Outside of that it's a hole.

Darwin is severely underrated. I'm guessing most people who have voted haven't been there. It's a great city.

Darwin and North Qld are it for social scene!
The PC police haven’t quite migrated up that far to make the place miserable!

I had a week's holiday in Darwin during the dry season and loved it, but not sure I could handle the full range of their weather.

I remember this was the tourism advertising slogan of choice a couple of years ago when I was in Darwin, don't know if it still is, but was amusing.

 

[M Malice]

I've been to and spent extended time in every capital city. Judging it in conjunction with the surrounding areas eg. South East Queensland, I'd rank it-

1- Brisbane.
2- Melbourne.
3- Perth.
4- Hobart.
5- Darwin.
6- Sydney.
7- Adelaide.

Love Darwin. Love Cairns aswell.

That's like saying Lockett was a s**t player outside of the 1400 goals he kicked.

Not really. How many people in Sydney can afford to live close enough to the harbour for them to enjoy it?

You don't need to live close to the harbour to enjoy it.

 

[MrKK]

You don't need to live close to the harbour to enjoy it.

How so? It's a beautiful harbour, but if I'm living out in the burbs and it takes me so long to get to it that I rarely bother, what does it add to my quality of life?

Isn't it more the fact that it is there and anyone/everyone can enjoy it if they so choose?

Something can be s**t apart from one good element. MR KK's reasoning is completely valid too.
