Australian Cities

"Come and live the Australian lifestyle"

Australian Cities are a cross between American and British cities.

The American grid system and similar road signs generally make it easy to navigate your way around.

In most cases, they are very compact, so sightseeing and window shopping can be done without a car.

You don't need a car to explore. There are however some good day trips that would make having a car extremely beneficial.

Consider hiring just for a day though as a car is a bit of a nuisance in the city as parking is generally difficult and expensive.

Which Cities to visit?

Adelaide	Sydney	Brisbane
Hobart	Darwin	Melbourne
Canberra	Perth	Broome

If this is your first time in Australia, I would recommend Sydney and

Melbourne Believe it or not, the two have a very different vibe. Whilst the very central area (Known as the CBD - Central Business District) is very similar, the side streets, cafe vibe and shopping is not the same.

If this is your second visit or you are into food and wine, I'd go to Adelaide where you can visit 3 differnt wine regions -all an easy car journey from the centre. It's also the gateway to Kangaroo Island - a personal favourite of mine.

Or, I'd look at Perth and a trip to the wine and beach region of the

Margaret River

If you intend to drive between Sydney and Melbourne then make sure you visit the Capital of Australia, Canberra. It's perfect for discovering the culture of Australia through its many museums and green open spaces.

If you are coming in the traditional winter months for Australia (April to October,) then a trip to Darwin or Broome would be great.

Don't rule out Tasmania and its capital city hobart

Whichever of the Australian cities that you pick, there is something for everyone.
