I had a great time in Sydney last week having almost forgotten what a vibrant city it is. Over the years I’ve lived in both Sydney and Melbourne and it really is a tough decision as to which city I’d prefer to reside. This topic is one of heated debate with many people I’ve spoken to standing strong in their chosen place. Personally, I’m a little undecided. There are...
