Sydney and Melbourne have always had a rivalry. Sydney people are supposed to have to culture, refinement, and the power. Melbourne was considered the second city with it's manufacturing and farm regions. Notice I didn't say culture or refinement. That's the old rivalry.... Still there, but not as pronounced as it once was. I prefer Melbourne for it's options, and yes, it's culture of pubs, fine dining, exhibits, ethnic diversity, etc... You're quickly able to shoot off to the Dandenong Ranges and Otways (rain forests), head off to Apollo Bay, Lorne, Great Ocean Road (surfing, hiking), the weather is generally slightly cooler (especially in winter) and employment prospects are good. The universities in Melbourne are well known, and the price of accomodation affordable. Public transport is also a consideration... The train system is reasonably quick. Keep researching, but in the end, you'll probably flip a coin (unless you have mates in one of the cities) Sydneysiders will probably tell you different things about Melbourne..heh Hope this helps.
