9. Been to some; heard about others

Sydney is very cosmopolitan. Some Aussies call it Little America. Melbourne is supposed to be more European. Canberra is supposed to be really dull - a government town. Brisbane is part of redneck land, but I didn't find it too bad. Though if you look in the city library, it's filled with musty old novels, nothing even recent. Darwin is known as Sin City. Cairns is a tourist pit. The Gold Coast is a mix of Miami, Tokyo and Disney Land. And Perth is supposed to be real nice. Yet Perth faces a dire water shortage. Tim Flannery says it could be the first ghost metropolis.
