Went to a family wedding and did some touristing in Australia, where we have friends & rels. Came back with lightweight observations and a few decent pictures: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2026/10/12/Aussie-Visit-2026

@timbray@cosocial.ca Yeah Brisbane is a self-described “big country town”, which means it’s insular and boring af. Melbourne is ok, but Sydney is where it’s at. A big city set amongst absolutely stunning topography and natural beauty.

@timbray@cosocial.ca I miss Melbourne! Sydney and Auckland each have a few neighbourhoods which are nicer than anything Melbourne can offer, but on average, for the total city, Melbourne is just the best. You already mentioned how it's a foodie city, but it also has an amazing live music scene. So many nights taking the tram to yet another far-off suburb for yet another amazing gig at some tiny local pub.
