Gold Coast: Orlando - a city built to be a resort, that's just a bit too big to be comfortable with it.

#Compare cities to other cities full

Astonishingly large, considering that literally everyone in the city has shared a flat with everyone else in the city at some point.Ĭanberra: Boise - a small town built to be a capital and as a result feeling very middle class, but sterile, as though someone forgot to actually add the city.ĭarwin: Baton Rouge - a city because somewhere had to be the capital of a remote area that's full of chancers and where the law doesn't really matter as much as what you can get done does.Īdelaide: Salt Lake City - a city that works fine, but thinks that a sculpture or a building counts as a city's 'character'. You never hear much about it outside the city itself, but you're always surprised when you find out how big it is.īrisbane: Atlanta - a big city that hasn't quite worked out that it's a big city yet and keeps trying to get away with things that only work in small towns. Perth: Houston - isolated, sprawling city with a single industry.

Has a one-sided 'rivalry' with a bigger town that barely notices it (Cleveland - Chicago, Melbourne - Sydney) and a chip on its shoulder. Melbourne: Cleveland - insular, provincial city that thinks it has claims to something of international importance (Cleveland - music, Melbourne - sport). Sydney: San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland - global, multicultural city that's driving the nation, but which no-one can afford to live in. What American cities would you compare to Australian cities? And why?

Hobart: Asheville (one of the few bigger Australian cities which happens to receive four seasons, nestled between a valley, and to the north is a fairly large mountain, very green, in between liberal and conservative (leaning more toward liberal in the inner-city), lively centre)

Brisbane is also one of the most conservative of the larger Australian capitals, has a very humid and wet climate, and is prone to violent storms). Perth: San Diego (Dry climate, strong beach culture, a bit more relaxed than most other Australian capital cities/major Australian cities)ĭarwin: Combination of Miami, Houston, and Corpus Christi (extremely tropical and humid, most infrastructure and buildings in the downtown area are new, fairly conservative like most of the Northern Territory, fairly laid back)īrisbane: Combination of Tampa, Orlando and Miami (near the Gold Coast which is known for its amusement and water parks and as the leisure hub of Australia with a huge beach culture, Brisbane in general is the largest city in Queensland and while it still retains its Queensland identity, it's still your typical cosmopolitan Australia capital city. Melbourne: A combination of New York and San Francisco (very cosmopolitan/multicultural), however also very liberal politically/culturally/socially)Īdelaide: Salt Lake City (very conservative, but urban to a degree at the same time, fairly OK public transport, semi-arid climate, not much going on outside of the city centre) Sydeny: A combination of New York and Los Angeles (extremely cosmopolitan/multicultural), hard work ethic, extremely spread out, strong beach culture, center of Australian hustle and bustle, and Oceania arguably)
