Hey fellow Aussies!!

Well,

I may be out in Australia for about a year, studying! Choices are between the following cities: Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Sydney, and Byron Bay. Of course, the lifestyles and trance/electronic music scene make a HUGE difference for me, because wherever I go, my records go! So, I'd love to start spinning out there as well... which of these cities has a great scene going? I'm going to be studying audio engineering, so I'd like to be able to find some work focused around electronic music in whatever city I settle in. Any recommendations? Which areas should I seek? avoid? I hear Byron Bay's extremely beautiful. I figured TA'ers in Australia would be the best resource for helping me decide where to make my (possibly) permanent home!

I appreciate allll your feedback and thoughtful insight. Yeeeahhh Aussieeelaaanddd!!!

dude Tasmania is where it's at. Sydney sucks and the only thing going for melbourne is souvlaki.

- Melbourne is a hole but has decent parties
- Sydney isn't a hole and has decent parties which aren't as good as Melbourne's
- Perth is a wasteland
- Byron Bay is amazing but is generally out of reach for anywhere else that matters

Seriously, if your coming to go to SAE, Byron has the best facility, but Sydney and Melbourne are good too, so Your choice would be out of those. Perth and Brisbane get the hand-me-down equpiment from Adelaide I heard
.
Why is it no-one ever thinks about Adelaide? And don't you Vics go knockin it. Adelaide is a great city, just small.
if I were you I'd choose Syndey for the weather, but Melbourne for the social aspect - depends what you want more considering you'll be hear to study. Don't expect much music 'life' in Byron, not enough people, but it would be wicked for relaxing.
