[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ I've Been To Bondi, Sydney, Australia

Beautiful beach. It was Australia's winter time, but there were surfer's everywhere. The architecture in the area is great. It doesn't look like a dumpy little beach town. I almost thought of Croatia looking at the surrounding buildings and hills.

Ok i remembered one thing, Is crime high there?? And what sort of natural disasters do your guys get ?

In relation to major cities in the USA crime is low. As in every major city around the world we are no utopia but crime levels will almost certainly be lower than anywhere in America.

In the north of the country you may get the occasional hurrciane/cyclone but that is it. In sydney the worst thing you will get from mother nature is sunburn

ok one more cause I am having trouble finding it online, what is the average price of housing in the sydney area. Like 3 bedroom maybe 4 bedroom home in a good area. I can find plenty of houses online but not the cost and what is the average home loan in Aus. length that is of the loan.

The closer to the CBD you get the higher the prices are. Median prices I believe are approx $450k to A$500k

Home loans can be taken over any period you choose to pay it off, usually with a maxiumum over 30 years but its a case by case situation.

Isaac yes we only have 5 free to air channels but cable is very common and inexpensive here

I think we only have about 5 free local channels as well, Abc, Cbs, Fox, Nbc, and Pbs not sure though,


Thanks for the info I searched on crime stats a lot today and it seems pretty mild comparred to here I read about Anita Cobby though and that was really sad and terrible what happened to her, but crime doesnt seem to be anything comparred to what it is here.

You forgot WB and in most major cities the religous channel (my personal favorite, I watch it anytime I can't find something good on)

Yes the religous channel, I believe it's done mostly by Catholics.

Yes, 7th Heaven is on the WB. I think Gilmore Girls too.

Ever since about 1970, the Washington, DC area has had channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. And that was just VHF. And on UHF, it was 20, 22, 26, 32, 45, and 50. So, when I would read about Britain having like 2 or 3 channels, I wanted to throw up.
