What an intelligent and observant comparison. We've lived in Adelaide 40+ years and have friends who've lived in Canberra the same time - both happily. If only Adelaide house prices were as low nowadays.
I would guess from your video you live or lived in Adelaide and spent 72 hours in Canberra You seemed to imply that everything was about 2 hours away but there is plenty of stuff to do within 45 minutes of the CBD including bushwalking, biking, wineries and rivers for swimming and kayaking . the other thing you haven't really understood about Canberra is the city is built around a series of satellite town centres so instead of most of the shopping district being concentrated in the CBD each town centre will have shopping areas restaurants and amenities so you may not have any reason to visit the CBD and there are many good cafes and restaurants at local suburban shops.
@@precisi0n86 True we're a weird mob and an odd setup which means a lot of people here are only here for short periods due to the public service and as that rare creature someone born and raised here a lot of them aren't worth the spit needed to drown a flea but most are pretty good people. But it is still a great place to raise kids.
Canberra doesn't look huge from the aerial shot but it's got to be one of the most sprawling cities per capita on earth. The burbs are hidden in the trees. Like Bill Bryson said Adelaide has nice parks but you're still in a city. Canberra IS the park.
Adelaide is currently the most liveable city in Australia and the third most liveable city in the world. It is also the only city in the world that is surrounded by parklands. You also could have mentioned that Adelaide is in close proximity to world class wine regions and it’s only a short walk to the world renowned Adelaide Oval. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
Thanks a lot of this, my girlfriend and I are thinking on moving to Adelaide to live we’re both from outside of Australia. Do you know any websites which are good for looking at renting property in Adelaide or websites for jobs there? Thanks again for the information!
I live an hour from Canberra. In summer its fairly normal too see 45° degrees during the day, also its not wierd to see snow in november 🤷. In winter ive personally seen and worked in -14° overnight. Cost of living in Canberra is outrageous.
Your data is quite out of date. Canberra's population in 2024 is 477,567, along with Queanbeyan its smaller NSW neighbour just over the border, which has 65,369, the population is over half a million and growing fast. There are a circle of small rural towns as well for people who like to live in the country and commute in. I think you have understated Canberra. It is quite lively and has a lot of shops in its 5 town centres. Livelier than Adelaide despite the smaller size. Adelaide is great during its annual Festival, but pretty dull the rest of the time. Canberra has a lot of events going on all year and more attractions within the city. It is a very leafy city with walks and bicycle paths everywhere. Nature and wildlife fill the city and there are far more cultural institutions in Canberra than Adelaide. Canberra has more major educational facilities with four universities as opposed to Adelaide's two. Canberra is less isolated than Adelaide, being between Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney especially is a relatively short drive, train ride or flight away. Many Adelaidians when they move, move up to Canberra as a much more modern and economically active city without it being the full on city congestion of Sydney or Melbourne.
As someone who lives in Canberra the tap water is good I happily drink water straight from the tap. Alidade used to be a port where ship were told not to take on drinking water but that as I understand it has been remedied but as I understand it it is still very hard so you may need a water softener
We moved from Talbingo near Canberra, where the water was brilliant, to Adelaide where it was terrible. It's improved a bit but I doubt is as good @@alankohn6709

Hi, glad you found it useful! The main websites for buying and renting property are realestate.com.au and domain.com.au. Also flatmates.com.au (mainly for house shares but you can look for whole places to yourself too). I think seek.com.au is the big employment site, but just Google to find more. Best of luck!
There are hundreds of different visas, so it will depend which one you are eligible for. I would start by looking into permanent residency on the Australian government website. immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/permanent-resident If you need advice, you should find a MARA registered migration agent, as they are the only people who can give visa advice. Here is my blog post on how I got my visa, which is a skilled migration visa. Best of luck! dreamingofdownunder.com/189-visa-australia/
Canberra looks boring and expensive 😢 . I d rather live in perth. Given the isolation you’ll benefit on affordable cost of living. Why go to a place that is expensive and boring.
Perth is so far away i lived in Perth for 7 years and did not like it. Canberra is fantastic 7 hours from Melbourne 3 hrs from Sydney' canberra has everything.
Different strokes for different folks , it depends on what lifestyle you're looking for 😀 quiet inland suits some people , coastal with beaches suits others ! Most people will be governed by budget so the cheapest is the answer .

Thank you. Yes, the house prices have really shot up in Adelaide.

Liked CBR but Adl with beaches and hills is awesome. Lets be honest everyone is on the kings on the weekend haha

Thanks for the information! I didn’t realise that.
Only the exclusive inner suburbs. Most are still just sprawl and it's worst on the fringe.

@@donegal_nomad also planning to do this!
@@donegal_nomad the link will have australia's domain at the end so .au
Canberra gets much hotter than 26 degrees in summer. You’ll definitely have weeks in the 30s and always hit the 40s a couple of times.
Wow that is scorching!
Adelaide gets to 44+ but is usually very dry heat so tolerable in the shade. Evap aircon works up to a point but most have refrigerant type.
Canberra 😍

😮
That's two extremes.
Please add more visuals to the video. You can have vocals in the background
Thanks for the feedback.
It's a good vid, don't be fussy.
Super vidéo, bonne chance !
💚 Bonne chance et succès 🌸
Thanks so much!
Very interesting and informative video!
Thanks.

Thanks Tad!

Hate Adelaide but lived here for the past 70 yrs so not likely to move now.
@@Deb.-. I love Adelaide only for visit but Perth for permanent. 💟 Love Australia
Thanks for video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco

Hope you have a lovely time!

How does the quality of tap water compare?
As someone who lives in Canberra the tap water is good I happily drink water straight from the tap. Alidade used to be a port where ship were told not to take on drinking water but that as I understand it has been remedied but as I understand it it is still very hard so you may need a water softener
Canberra is better
Canberra has probably the cleanest water in the country.
We moved from Talbingo near Canberra, where the water was brilliant, to Adelaide where it was terrible. It's improved a bit but I doubt is as good @@alankohn6709
Could you do between Perth and Adelaide?
Yes, that would be a good one!
That would be The Nullarbor Plain .. the longest stretch of nothing in Australia.

@Dreaming of Down Under thank you! very helpful websites！I come from other country too, and need to find a place to stay.
@@jackiezhang97 no problem. Best of luck.
It gets to 40 in summer in both at worst
Nice 🔥♥️
Thank you!
Lived in both, canberra is better.
Good to know!
Care to elaborate some ??
💯 canberra is the best!!
Why is Canberra better? I have a job opportunity in Adelaide, and live right near Canberra. Would be interested to know.
@@andrewross2534 nicer, cleaner, newer.

Ridiculous
Hey God,date mate iam from panama have living autralia
It would be great if you pronounced the capital of Australia properly. It is pronounced “CANberra, not CAMberra. It is an N, not an M.
