":::More that those three cities often seem to think that the rest of Australia doesn't exist. I can remember making frequent business trips from each of them to the other two, but never to any other Australian city. I've lived in far more volatile climates than Melbourne's (which I remember for mild winters, warm summer downpours & hot winds from the interior). Given the choice between Melbourne's climate & Sydney's, I'd pick Melbourne any day. ''TalkStalk''(P)
