Street Talk: The Australian Environment

by admin in Video 0 comments
Climate, aside from being great small-talk material, is an important concern for most… and the Australian environment in particular provides lots of material for debate. While Australia has a reputation for excellent weather, the country’s vast land mass means that Australia has many climatic zones, from the moderate and Mediterranean temperatures in the south, to the tropical, humid environments in the north. Which is Australia’s hottest city? (Most of you guessed this correctly.) Which city is the windiest? Which city has the most sunshine hours per day? (Hint: it’s not in the ‘Sunshine State’…) For travellers, weather can make or break a holiday, and for people looking to move to a new city, climate is something to seriously consider before packing the bags. So which Australian city has the best climate? In this video, Ivan Aristeguieta chose a few questions from the Austrlaia’s Best City climate category and asked the public (often surprising) questions about their own backyard. Check out all the facts to do with the Australian environment in the Climate and Environment category on Australia’s Best City.

Street Talk: Australia’s Best City for Sport

by admin in Video 0 comments
Ivan Aristeguieta, Adelaide-based comedian, hit the streets to ask you some fun – and sometimes tricky – questions about sport. Australians take sport pretty seriously: engaging in friendly rivalry during a game is almost as popular as the sports themselves. Whether it’s AFL, NRL, tennis or soccer (football, for those reading from Europe), Australians enjoy a match and are internationally renowned for their sporting prowess. But the question still stands: which is Australia’s best city for sports? Where do the best sportsmen and women come from? We chose some surprising facts from the Australia’s Best City database and asked Ivan to quiz people on ever-important questions like “which is the city with the most number of AFL All-Australians per capita? There are of course tonnes more things that make a city a sporting giant. In this video we’ve only covered a few of them. In the sport category, we chose around 20 (and counting) facts to rank Australia’s capitals on how good they were at sport. Check out all the facts in the Sports category on Australia’s Best City.

Canberra the most Liveable City in Australia

by admin in Video 0 comments
Earlier this month, the Property Council of Australia Liveability Survey dubbed Canberra the most liveable city in Australia. It was the first time in four years that Adelaide was bumped from the top of the list down to second place, and is – naturally – great news for Canberra, which completed a re-brand in December of last year and which many were less than enthusiastic about. The top-ten reshuffle is said to be partially due to Adelaide’s economic outlook, which has taken several blows in recent months. These include the announcement of the imminent closure of the Holden plant, which employs around 1,600 workers, plus the release of figures that showed that Adelaide unemployment rates were the second lowest in the country, behind Hobart. Canberra on the other hand scored highly in the outdoor recreation, education, and safety areas – which is also reflected by individual data facts from various sources. In their summary of the report, Property Council Chief Executive Peter Verwer said that “cost of living, housing affordability and job opportunities are the economic foundations for a liveable city”, which is certainly true. The survey did not however measure the purchasing power of residents, which plays an important role […]

Street Talk: Australia’s Best City – Food and Wine

by admin in Video 0 comments
To judge Australia’s best city – food and wine is a big part of the mix. Ivan Aristeguieta, Adelaide-based comedian, hits the streets to ask you how what you think was the best Australian foodie destination. Australia has an excellent rep – both locally and abroad – for food, wine and boutique brews. With vast land expanses and a melting pop of a population, Australian restauranteurs are up there with the best of them, producing outstanding food influenced by flavours from around the world. With the wines to match. Not to say that all Australian cities perform equally, though. Melbourne and Sydney have long competed for Australia’s culinary title (with the most restaurants and bars of all cities)… but is this reputation unjustified? We chose some often surprising (and for some, maybe controversial) facts from the Australia’s Best City database, and asked Ivan see if people could guess the answers. In the food category, we chose a few of the things that we think makes a great foodie-destination, and used them to rank Australian capitals on their culinary magic. Check out all the facts in the Food category on Australia’s Best City. If there’s something you’d like to see in […]
