@Nath @Gibsonisafluffybutt It also depends on where in Melbourne.

There's plenty of arts, culture, live music, bars, sport, festivals, etc., in the CBD and inner suburbs. Between the trams and trains, inner suburban public transport is reasonable (better than most US cities, worse than many in Europe and Asia).

But then you get to the middle and outer ring suburbs — places like Knox or out Casey way — and it's a cultural wasteland.
