1. To get out of Brisbane.
2. Made easier by the fact my brother already lived here.
3. Halfway between Brisbane and Melbourne.
4. Awesome live music venues.
5. King Street, Newtown.
Australia has always been the country of my dreams.
Why Sydney ? Most famous Australian city and got a job here.
apital cities in australia are the only places with any jobs. sydney is the closest capital to where i’m from, so unless i wanted a life on the dole, i had to move.
More opportunity, most of my friends live there, great pubs, great beaches and great food!
For University!
And also because my father lives here.
My girlfriend is from Sydney, so here i am. I do like it though!
I was in a rut back home, Sydney was the closest place with some thing going on.
To raise my kids in the city of my dreams. Besides, is the safer beautiful city of the world.
I’m a gay man who grew up in a small country town in NSW. I moved to Sydney so I could lead a comfortable, honest life with the chance to meet other young guys. There aren’t really any other options in this country. Brisbane has no beach and Melbourne has terrible weather, it was a no-brainer.
I lived 31 years in Canada, then 9 years in the UK. My wife and I had been planning to move to Australia for several years because of climate, lifestyle, and economy.
I applied for state-sponsored permanent resident visas in both VIC and NSW. NSW said yes. Here I am!
for life in a city, to get free newspapers at a train stations, for bright lights, liberal minded attitudes, mardi gras, the beaches and hot men
I couldn’t help it I just woke up in Crown Street Hospital
I was born and raised in Sydney. I’ve travelled around Australia, Japan, Thailand, New 7ealand, lived in parts of England. I wouldn’t live anywhere else than Sydney,. I just love it. There’s always something going on, everthings with in walking distanced. It has awesome beaches and a beautiful harbour.
Moved here cos of uni. Staying cos it’s the most beautiful city in the world.
Born & raised here! Travelled a bit but just love the lifestyle Sydney has to offer, an amazing harbour, beautiful beaches, fabulous food, great weather & unique land.
Because it’s so beautiful. There’s heaps to do. The weather is generally more stable. Can’t imagine living anywhere else now
Great balance between city \ beach lifestyle – challenging jobs in the CBD and quiet beach suburbs not too far away. Love it!
I left Bris-Vegas to live in Sydney because I got into an acting school in L.A. and in Sydney in the same year!
I chose Sydney because I had never moved out of home before so thought… I should probably move states before I move countries.
Two years later I’m still acting up a storm and just can’t seem to leave… LOVE SYDNEY!
