Just stay mostly within the southwest and it's not so bad. So don't visit, like, Darwin or Perth

Melbourne->Sydney->Brisbane is a completely logical itinerary

Hell you could probably throw Adelaide in front of Melbourne depending on how much time/money you have

It's weird to me how much just about every Aussie not from Sydney hates Sydney because it's one of my favorite cities

What?

I've lived for many years in the CBD and let me tell you, it makes no sense. It's like the least planned city I have ever seen. It's like if you let a five year old draw a six armed monster.

I don't really care much about planning (SF is built on like 4 separate grids lmao). I'm talking more about the buildings/general feel.

I like CBDs on the water with sleek, modern buildings and famous bridges.

if you told me about a suburb near chicago it'd be as meaningless as if you said a suburb near california. i'd likely have no idea which was which

so i don't see why i'd expect someone to know the difference between burwood and ashburton (melbourne suburbs) so i just say 'melbourne'

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburbs_a ... Australia) :

This Australian usage of the term differs from common American and British usage, where it typically means a smaller, frequently separate residential community outside, but close to, a larger city. The Australian usage is closer to the American or British use of "district" or "neighborhood", and can be used to refer to any portion of a city.

So like, for example, Silver Spring is a suburb of DC. It's a separate municipality outside, but adjacent to the city. They have their own local government, etc. Aussie suburbs are, like, still in the municipality of Sydney and run under its city government and shit.
