I've done around 9 years split between Melbourne & Sydney in my life (most recently 2014), and would never go back.
Too expensive in the big cities, especially Sydney. Worse than Vancouver by a LONG shot.
If you think it's strange that more and more millennials here are living at home well into their 30's, it's even more common there, and has been for at least 10-15 years.
When I moved away at 30 in 2014, none of my friends owed properties. None.
Australia is much more of a nanny state than Canada - even in 2014 it was sliding that way, and when Covid came around they went crazy with the lockdowns which was no surprise to me given what I'd experienced. Rules, rules, rules.
Nice place to visit though.
