Everyone arrived in this city somehow – you were either born here, or you moved here by choice!
There’s always interesting stories to share about why you moved here… exactly what was it that attracted you to the big smoke? Or perhaps you moved here from another city, or even country!
Share your reasons why Melbourne was so attractive to you.
I was sick of Sydney’s complete lack of a decent music scene!
I moved from England to get the best of everything, beach, weather, culture, music, food, lifestyle, cost of living. Oh. And I met a boy.
because there is absolutely nothing to do in Sydney except go the beach. that and because melbourne is the greatest city on earth.
A musical folly. and then I met a boy. and now, although the weather’s not the greatest, where else can I get what I get in Melbourne (fashion, food, and flavour) anywhere else in Australia? Answer: Nowhere! And believe me, I’ve thought loooong and hard about this..
Originally because a friend said “it would suit you”. Now because : thriving live music scene, better food, saner people, wider streets, less traffic, lower cost of living.
The arts scene
Because it has things Sydney doesn’t like – friendly people, a decent live music scene, bars that aren’t full of pokies, AFL coverage, and did I mention friendly people?
all of the above
