Eight Livable Cities for Australian Immigrants

Take stock of Australia's eight livable cities and see which one is your most desirable Australian settlement city?

When choosing a city to live in, there are four main factors to consider:

1) Work/study

2) Housing cost (purchase or lease)

3) Climate and environment

4) Besides, do you have any local friends or relatives?

The largest city: Sydney

The city has a pleasant climate and an active economy. The biggest drawback is that the housing cost is too high-higher than any other city in Australia. Even if you go to the west of Sydney, such as Cmapbelltown or the Central Coast, you will still find that you don't earn as much money as other cities in Australia.

If you live in these remote places and work in CBD, the time cost of commuting will be even greater.

Families with children can choose other cities in Australia. Couples who are single or childless can consider staying in Sydney for several years, but they can live in another city after having children.

If you prefer to settle in this area, you can choose nearby Newcastle or Wollongong, which is relatively cheaper, but it is still a bit difficult to find a job locally. Both cities experienced industrial recession in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and many factories closed down. Despite their efforts to recover, there are still many economic problems. For example, Newcastle has one of the highest unemployment rates in Australia.

The second largest city: Melbourne.

The weather in this city is very different from that in Sydney. It will be colder in winter (about 14), about 3 degrees colder than Sydney. The lifestyles of these two cities are somewhat different in winter. The winter sky in Melbourne will be a little more gray than that in Sydney. The weather in Melbourne in summer may be better than that in Sydney, and it is sultry. Melbourne will be drier (less humid) than Sydney. However, even in summer, the weather in Melbourne still becomes extremely fast. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the same all year round.

Melbourne may be more livable than Sydney, especially its road system is much better than Sydney. Melbourne's economy has greatly improved compared with the early 1990s, and it is still the manufacturing center of Australia. The house price is about 30%-35% cheaper than that in Sydney.

The third largest city: Brisbane.

The weather in this city is absolutely commendable. Although it is humid in summer, the temperature in winter is almost maintained at 2 1.

Brisbane has a rapid economic development and diversified industries. Compared with Sydney and even Melbourne, house prices have great advantages. Infojun thinks that Brisbane's urban characteristics are not as good as the first two, and the CBD is monotonous, but it is also relatively speaking, but it is a great city.

It is also a good choice to settle in the nearby Gold Coast, which is only an hour's drive from Brisbane. Sunshine Coast is in the north of Brisbane, but it's a little long to go back and forth in one day.

The fourth largest city: Perth.

This city is like "mini California", thriving. Perth may have the best weather in Australia (mild in winter and not too hot in summer), a rapidly developing economy (mainly resource-based industries), relatively cheap housing prices and excellent sunny beaches.

The biggest drawback is that it is too biased. It takes three hours to fly from the nearest capital, Adelaide, so it is also called the loneliest city in the world.

The fifth largest city: Adelaide.

Adelaide is a great city, but its economy has fallen behind in recent ten years. The biggest advantage is that consumption cost is low and the cheapest city in the Australian capital. It is relatively difficult to find a job, but it is not impossible.

If your major is nursing and education, Adelaide is a good choice. Australia is in great need of nurses and teachers. Because of the low cost of living, these occupations can reach a higher standard of living in Adelaide. Adelaide and Sydney have the same area, but the climate is quite different. Adelaide will be colder and wetter in winter than Sydney, and hotter and drier in summer.

The sixth largest city: Canberra.

Canberra has a perfect education system, excellent medical system, shorter commuting time, ultra-low crime rate and cleaner air.

All this is because it is the capital of Australia, a clean, safe and comfortable city. Imagine living in a city. How can you work? It only takes 20 minutes. This is a city without toll stations, pollution and traffic jams. It has the best roads and hundreds of meters of bicycle lanes in Australia.

The seventh largest city: Hobart

If you are looking for a city with a warm climate, Hobart, the capital of Tasmani, may be a good choice. Its climate is similar to that of northwest Europe, and the average temperature in summer is around 22. Compared with other states, Tasmania's economy is also very backward, and it is difficult to find a good job there. Even if you find a good job, the salary may not reach the height of other States, although the housing standard in Australia is relatively low.

The eighth largest city: Darwin

When it comes to Darwin, it feels like a stagnant pool. However, Darwin is now one of the fastest growing cities in Australia. Due to the geographical advantages close to Asia, some new projects will be completed in Darwin, such as submarine natural gas and intercity lines.

Darwin's population is relatively small, with a total population of only 65,438+10,000. Because it is relatively isolated from other Australian States, the cost of living is high.

But if you want to take an ordinary road and broaden your horizons, Darwin will be a good choice. The small-scale economy in the Northern Territory of Darwin means that the job market is very small. The weather in Darwin is not as hot as Perth most of the time, and it will be humid.

There are many cities in Australia that can be settled, mostly in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. In terms of scale, some towns or small cities, such as townsville and Keynes (where the Great Barrier Reef is located), can rival Darwin Hobart. But you need to know more before you make a decision. Of course, the working environment, the cost of housing (buy or rent), the weather, and whether you have any friends or relatives in the local area, or these factors finally determine where you will settle down.
