Sydney lower than Auckland eh?

Is Melbourne on that list? It would be the closest to me.

I lived in Auckland for a brief period years ago and survived. I have not stayed in Sydney longer than 3 weeks but I survived that too.

For me, the bush is better, but I guess I'm a country boy at heart Doug. Melbourne is geographically vast, laid back easy sort of place. Sydney is very fast, expensive, up market, but scenically beautiful on the harbour and all that.

Auckland is a city full of industry, tourists, thugs to rob the tourists, starving overseas students and gangs out to kill the other gangs as far as I can see. It has a very pretty harbour too, and some stunning coastline with maybe the best allround fishing to anywhere in the world (outside Ohio.)

I wonder what Mike T. and Jeff H. will say about this? I'm gunna stay under cover for a while now.
