I don't live in Melbourne. It's just Ethereal's stupid mantra every time Melbourne is mentioned.
I know, I'm just trying to probe ya

I believe Sydney's skyline is more distinct thanks to the AMP tower, Chifly tower and Deutsche Bank Place, which give it a unique look. But that's just me.
Apart from the skyline thing, I agree with this. I prefer Melbourne's skyline (bias or whatever, you decide) but Melbourne has the culture and Sydney has the flashiness. It's always been like that and I wouldn't change it.
Sydney is definitely better-known, and a lot of people think it's the capital of Australia, but people know Melbourne exists as well - and like I mentioned before, people I know who've been to both think Melbourne is the better city. By all accounts it's a petty cool place with a lot of cultural activities, while Sydney is more of a money obsessed/flashy city. It's like comparing Frankfurt to Berlin, in a sense?
Lost in the flood of the cyclone was the fact that Brisbane reached a maximum of only 25.8°C March 30. Not only was that the "coolest" day since October 24, 2016, it was the first maximum below 80°F (26.7°C) since November 1, 2016 (149 days prior).

That's nothing to crow home about considering the March average high is 29.0C, plus being the end of the month.
