I am looking at studying Journalism in 2009 at either the University of Adelaide or the University of Queensland.
I am not worried about the universities, as both have good reputations, but I am concerned about the cities.
I have never been to Brisbane before, and the last time I went to Adelaide I was eleven.
So, taking into account public transport, entertainment and recreation activities, etc., which is the better city?
Answer
Which city is the best? Well thatâs ultimately up to oneâs personal choice, I personally feel Adelaide is a more cultured place than Brisbane, and easier to get around, and it has a lower crime rate, and lower cost of living than Brisbane. I would imagine, public transport, entertainment and recreation activities are pretty much the same. Adelaide University is in a prime city location, with very close access to the best the city has to offer, and transport as well. Adelaide as a city, is a great place to live, and has a laid back quality pace of life, and far from boring (unless you are a boring person). In Adelaide the Entertainment & arts are plentiful, great inexpensive food, caféâs, heaps to do especially in Summer and Autumn, ease of accessibility which is a bonus to getaway to locations like the many small towns / villages in the surrounding hills, the nationâs best wine regions and the beaches (Adelaideâs metropolitan area has over 30KMâs of beaches, with wide beaches with calm waters in the far Northern costal historical suburbs, to the beautiful cliff lined beaches in the Southern suburbs, that have their own family and surf culture, with cosmopolitan Glenelg beach lying somewhere in the middle, which boasts countless, bars, restaurants, hotels (of international standards) and a marina), which makes the city pretty special. The climate's pretty good though not much rain, and can get pretty hot in late summer. Adelaide has less rainy days than Brisbane on average per year, and Adelaide has more sunshine per day than Brisbane from November through to the end of March. Adelaide averages 10 hours a day of sunshine throughout summer, Brisbane 8.3hours. As far as a place to live, I reckon the eastern, south eastern, south western and beach side suburbs are the pick of the suburbs to live in, like all cities youâll pay more in better suburbs.
I have included some great links giving a comprehensive rundown comparison of the Australian cities (below), also 2 links from a British emigration site, giving an overview of moving to and living in Adelaide.

(By the way I have been to both cities, so no guess work here. Re Aâs baseless comment âBrisbane is great because â¦â¦â¦. and has good beaches etcâ Please do yourself a favour and get onto Google Earth and check out who has the best beaches, itâs Adelaide hands down! Brisbane has mud flaps, except for an outer north eastern suburb called Redcliffe which has about as much surf as my bath tub. As far as Livable Cities, both the highly prestigious "The Economist" magazine's "world's most livable cities" index and Mercers Quality living survey, both rank Adelaide higher than Brisbane in regards to livability / quality of living; and for good reason.)

Is this cruel to my cats?
Von Batt
We're in the middle of a painfully hot Queensland summer, and we have no air conditioning. Both of my cats are bathed and shampooed once a week - as they are long haired, and it's the only way we've been able to keep all the loose fur in their coats to a minimum. At first they hated the water, but now their used to it, and will hop in the tub of their own accord now, once it's filled up. My friend however, maintains this is a cruel way to treat the animals - she reckons they should be allowed to play outside and just allow them to groom themselves. What do you think?
Answer
There is nothing wrong with bathing your cats. They need a bath anyways, and if you let them outside they will get bug infested, and need a bath anyways. They do still groom them selves and the bath probably feels good and helps them cool off.
