Hey Nick,
Well I've lived in Sydney all my life, but have been to all the other state capitals, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, Hobart.
Gotta say that each is quite different and the accent even varies in Adelaide and Perth. Loved Perth while I was there and used to have friends there. The people are great, more relaxed than over here in Sydney. Perth is also an attractive city. The America's Cup was held down the road in Fremantle which has really developed in recent years with lots of cafes and eateries etc. The Margaret River region is not far and is renown for it's surf, wineries and fine produce. Perth has some fine beaches too. Lots of great places to go in Western Australia too. I guess the only real downside of Perth is that it's so far from anywhere else. Could easily see myself living there.
If there's specific stuff you'd like to know give me a shout and I'll see what I can find out for you.
Hope that helps a little. When you coming?
