If cities could talk, New York would speak of bright lights, Los Angeles of an agreeable climate, Toronto of magnificent streetscapes and Boston of historical grandeur. An ocean away down under, Australia’s second biggest city would tell you, in a warm and broad accent, that it boasts all these virtues...and more!
