Guest Jaimz Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Melbourne and Sydney are equally matched. Melbourne's alternative culture is very easy to find, but Sydney has just a good culture, it's just smoothered a bit by the fact that Sydney is pretty damn big. Sydney also has more psytrance parties than Melbourne, but Melbourne has more international acts playing and generally a more commercial vibe at their bigger parties. Melbourne has bitchier politics, mostly due to the wider divide between commercial and underground psytrance parties. But it's been a year an a half since I've been to Oz, so I guess things could have changed. There's also plenty of jobs in both cities and accomodation is easy to find. To be honest, I'd suggest you try to split your time between the two. And maybe a month or two up near [but not in] Byron Bay as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jaimz Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Adz - Although I haven't seen it for myself, pretty much all of the people I know who live on the North Coast are often complaining about the state of the central area of Byron Bay - it's basically now a tourist destination - rent is soaring, and a lot of the cool little stores and places that made Byron so cool are moving away. Basically, it's selling out. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron has changed so much in the last three years, not many hippies in the streets, shit loads of tourists, cars, clothes shops, etc... the unique vibe it had is fading but there are plenty of bush doofs in them there hills ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
