Beautiful! Certainly no surprise this city is consistently rated as one of the top two cities in the world for quality of life (seems like it's always a battle between Melbourne and Vancouver for the top spot). If the price to fly down to Australia wasn't so expensive, I'd most certainly be heading there for a vacation someday soon. Instead I'll just have to settle for photos on here, so thank you for posting these.

Looks like a really wonderful place to live. I hope to perhaps do a working holiday there a year from now.
