It's a bit of a arbitrary comparison but have always thought these cities have frontier capital cities are kind of fascinating.
If you are to live or spend some time visiting these cities, which one would you prefer? Anyone familiar with these cities to offer some insights? Any other cities that one would put into this catalogue of cities?
Yeah all beautiful, would like to visit the others but have only been to Hobart. Well maybe Darwin isn't beautiful, but the other two are. Hobart is very beautiful, not just the vista but it has a lot of nabes with a lot of preserved colonial architecture. Sometimes it feels almost like some sort of historical museum.
Hobart is indeed beautiful! I like the hills and mountain backdrop too!
And I am actually just wondering if one have any insights comparing them to others? If you see any similarities between these cities, physical or even when it comes to people's mentality. I just find these cities very interesting, in the edge of Australia and Canada respectively.
I see. Well, I've never been to Darwin before, but I know plenty of people who have, including my brother in law worked up there for a few years in the police force.
You probably couldn't get a city more opposite to Hobart in all of Australia.
Hobart is cold, not very diverse, no indigenous Australians, hilly/mountainous.
Darwin is hot/tropical, very diverse, many indigenous Australians, flat.

The photos of Victoria, BC and St. John's, NL in Canada are very poorly chosen and do not do them justice.
I have been to both and found them to be very charming.
In particular, a photo taken from Signal Hill at the entrance to St. John's harbour is fascinating. Check it out by googling "webcam St Johns NL" for a peek.

I have never made it to Darwin either. But it looks fascinating. We almost never hear about it outside of Australia.

Thanks for the link. I quite like that St John's picture though:P As for Victoria I really like the city, though I have a hard time finding a good overview picture of the city.

Darwin and Hobart do have a fews things in common though: both are pretty laid back, 'no worries' kind of places, and both are gateways to some of the best scenic travel destinations in the country.
I've been to all but Darwin.
Odd cities to compare.
Has anyone been to all?
