We simply don't have places like Dollis Hill, Willesden or Acton in Sydney.

No, Redfern, Blacktown, Cabramatta, Liverpool, Mt Druitt are all lovely aren't they.
Sydneys a wonderful place but don't make it out to be some kind of Utopia.

| Actually the British pound has fallen in value a lot in the last 12 months in comparison to the Australian dollar.
And, as someone that has seen the cost of living in the UK, let me tell you that Australians have a much lower cost of living and when you couple that with a better quality of living.....yeah....poor us!

With the exception of 'Stabramatta' I would sooner live in any of those suburbs you mentioned than somewhere like London.
Sydney is truly the greatest city on the face of this earth

| I love living in Sydney, it is a lovely place and has a lot to offer, and most of the people are lovely and friendly, but I don't know why some people that live here can't accept that there are no other nice, beautiful places in the world, for some reason some Australians seem so insecure about where they come from.

Sydney Harbour or what amounts to an open sewer!
I mean, their best city was sooooo good, they built a ferris wheel and thought it was iconic!

See what I mean, why the insecurity?
Oh and you know you wouldn't have an iconic bridge if the British hadn't engineered and paid for it??

Oh yeah I forgot that it was actually knocked together in a backyard in Luton by a bloke called Harold before being posted via parcelforce to Sydney
79% of the steel was made in Britain
The rest was Australian. This was because the type of steel was relatively new and was not yet made in Oz.

| If it's down to who has the most picturesque bridge, then Millau is a better place to live than either Sydney or London.
Sydney's a beautiful place, but it always feels a little provincial compared to the world's major cities - kind of a lightweight San Francisco.
