Don’t go to Sydney - it IS the most over-rated city in the world. You’ll be ripped off and gouged at every turn, the locals are famously unfriendly and once you’ve seen whats in about a square kilometer by the Opera House, the place is a freakin’ DUMP.

Come to Brisbane. Much nicer and everything you will want to see in Australia is right outside the city.
