I just moved to Sydney (from Vienna, Austria, which incidentally is also ranked high wrt. living conditions [1]) and my first impression after two weeks matches your list very well! Even though it's winter ;). Rather off-topic, but do you or any other fellow HNers have suggestions for places to meet other hackers or like-minded people? In Vienna there's Metalab [2], a very nice hackerspace populated by lots of creative people. I just found out about a place called Robodino [3] in Sydney. Are there any other meetups?
