I had seen Adelaide the dearest and the cheapest place to live in.

I'm in love with the city. You can impress an Australian with a city, but you can't impress them with a beach.

Sydney's beautiful, the weather's great, and the air's fresh and clean, but it doesn't have the scene and the amount of likeminded people. At home, things are very comfortable, but I feel like putting myself out there a bit.

Actually, Sydney is my second favourite city on earth, I love Sydney, but this is the greatest.

Melbourne is wonderfully altered since I last saw it. There are some very fair buildings in it now, and things are a little cheaper than they used to be.

Sydney has taken my money, Melbourne has my respect, but Adelaide has taken my heart; I shall return.

I have visited Australia several times, and I always try to make a point of going to Melbourne because it's almost my favorite city there, Melbourne and Sydney. But I shouldn't say that because I haven't been everywhere-and I'm very fond of Perth too!

Canberra was my home for many years, and there's a lot to love about it. It has a small population with a strong sense of community and is top-heavy with interesting, highly educated, socially progressive people - the opposite of the stereotypical image of dull public servants.
