Most cities are on east coast because NSW was founded first, then Victoria, so naturally the earlier settled cities flourished the most.
As far as I'm aware. Also It's a bit cooler on the east coast. (Well East, South-East coast)
And I've got an (unfortunately) empty bar-fridge if you're interested. It's almost a metre high! |

Yeah we do, we own a lot of those islands :p
On the mainland, Queensland would be your best bet if you're looking for tropical beaches...

Why are all bigger cities located only on East Coast? |
That's where Europeans landed first and settled, remember it was only 200-odd years ago, and there's 10,000km of desert before you reach the west coast :) |

Hey, thanks for ya reply.
So I can continue askin' the possibly most important question.
Are Australians open for trance music (beach parties)? ;) :D
I'm asking this, because I'm searching for a land to move, where I simply can put my turntables on the beach, a generator next to it, and start to play music without some guys in my neck, who wanna be paid for every f..kin' step I make.
Or are such sound sessions as complicated as in Germany? I still have the words of some authorities in my ears:
"Yes, a party is possible. First it will cost 2 Euro (=US $) for each person, which takes part in it. Then you have to look for security, toilets, a trade licence for beer, environment taxe, a notification for the police and so on, and so on..."
Thereby I only want to play some music on the beach. Is this normal? Or are only Germans that crazy? |

The music on the beach is a good idea... but u'll probably have the cops (police) breathing down your neck when the people next door complain about the noise... I've seen properly organised beach parties on the Gold Coast, but they've been properly organised events. |

Thank you very much for answering. :)
I'm really glad, that there's hope. ;) Seem to be, that I've to ask authorities to do so, but that is normal. I was only wondering, if I'm getting poor by organizing just one party. :D |

:nervous: And how about snakes? I'm really afraid of snakes. :nervous:
Are there any snake-free locations in Australia? Perhaps at the Upper East Coast? You can't imagine, how I'm scared by snakes. ;) |

AU has snakes everywhere. That said they aren't in any of the cities on the east coast. Snakes are only in the rural areas as far as I'm aware. I've seen 1 snake in 21 years, and that was out bush.

Short answer, no :)
This might help you, a few common questions from tourists :)

A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water...
Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? Thanks from Sweden!
A: So its true what they say about Swedes.
Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay?
A: What did your last slave die of?
Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia?
A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross [Sydney's red light district]. Come naked, bring beer.
Q: Which direction is North in Australia?
A: Face south and then turn 90 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.
Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule?
A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked, bring beer.
Q: Do you have perfume in Australia?
A: No, WE don't stink.
Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia?
A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.
Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK)
A: You are a British politician, right?

A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.

Seem to be a very amazing life in Autralia... while wearing a snake-bit-safe Spacesuit. :D
Oh my Goodness, you Guys make me fear. *g* Perhaps I should really settle to New Zealand,
and sometimes fly over to Australia for making party. :toocool: |
