I've lived just outside Adelaide, in Canberra and in the suburbs of Melbourne (Elwood then Mentone). I now live in Thailand, but outside Bangkok. There is definitely a hard-to-describe size difference - Bangkok as a metro area has half the population of Australia. Australian cities have nothing to complain about when it comes to traffic. I've sat in the car in Bangkok traffic, and taken an hour to go the final 900m of a journey. Having said that, some Australian cities are unlivable imo, because they're too "small town". Visiting Adelaide is like a trip in time back to the 70s when shops all close at 5pm and nothing is open on Sundays.
