I personally think Melbourne is a nicer place than Sydney in terms of people…the people are nicer in Melbourne in my opinion.. And thats speaking from someone who has been to Melbourne about 100 times and lived an hour south of Sydney her whole life.. I never really bothered to come to Sydney until I started working for RA.. I was in Melbourne much more with my last job then.
But sights to see wise, I would prefer Sydney over Melbourne..
Shopping is MUCH better in Melbourne.
