As they say, Sydney is a model with a drug addiction, beautiful but difficult to live with. But you wouldn't choose any where else, there is no where better.
@vilemerchant Do you know why some Lebanese people go places in large groups? Because they've seen their mothers, fathers, cousins, uncles and aunts bashed by racists in the past, and refuse to suffer the same indignity and physical insecurity.
All the Whitlams have been from Sydney, and many of their songs are about specific locations in Sydney (especially around Newtown, where they were based, and where Tim still lives. I used to see him around when I lived there).
just a shame sydney and melbourne are both such holes great people just a shit places worked and lived in both to much of a rat race everyone wanting everything done 2 weeks ago rush rush rush go go go best place in oz has to be by far northern teritory ive like and moved right thro out oz and that place tops it all off
What many people from other cities don't realise is that us Sydneysiders have a very self deprecating attitude in general, following the traditions set by Londoners and Dubliners, this is a classic example of that, you can see it in many of the songs about Sydney and even other NSW urban centers like Newcastle and Wollongong.
Other people don't really get it, is Sydney Shit? Yes! Would I rather live anywhere else? No way! Many people will say the same, don't ask anyone to explain it.
So leave! If you cant appreciate Sydney you dont deserve to be living here. You're probably from Melbourne like most who love to pay out the BEST CITY IN WORLD! Jelousy eats at the rest of Australia because of this fact.
Melbourne icons: Fed Square, Luna Park...umm...trams...umm
Sydney icons: Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Centerpoint, QVB, Monorail, Ferries, Luna Park, Bondi Beach, Darling Harbour, Aquarium, Taronga Zoo, The Rocks...need I say more?
Yes Sydney is a whore, and you have to love it for it's body and not it's brain, tis true. Melbourne on the other hand, you can love it for it's brain and the understated lil something I can't quite put my finger on but i'll always love Melbourne till I die.
