I'm a Brit living Down Under - so many people rave about Australia but I have found something to hate in every city: 'It's super frustrating'

Daily Mail  

A young British woman has revealed the one thing she hates the most about each Australian city after moving Down Under for a better life, only to be left feeling very disappointed with reality. She said Melbourne is too much like the UK, Sydney is too expensive, Perth requires a car to get around and the Gold Coast is fiercely competitive for jobs and housing. Melbourne is too far from good surfing beaches, has a 'crazy' public transport system and 'psychotic' weather according to some The expat said that life on the west coast of Australia, which is 'quiet' and has the drawcard of some of the country's most stunning beaches, still has one flaw. People complained that Sydney is expensive, cliquey and everything closes too early for it to be considered a fun place And many said the beach lifestyle, especially in Sydney isn't even as accessible as it first seems and there's only so much of it you can enjoy. Owen said that the weather isn't that good, the cost of living is crazy, skilled jobs are hard to find, the lifestyle is 'really boring' and everyone knows everyone.
