Both are now growing faster than the national average, MEL since 2001 and SYD since 2011. Australians are concentrating even more around their two largest cities. Sydney is more expensive and that’s why Melbourne pulled ahead. That’s not the first time though: during Australian Gold Rush in the 1860’s, MEL also overtook SYD, which later retook its place.
