移居悉尼前必知的七件事：是否值得搬來？
悉尼，位於新南威爾士州，是澳洲最大的城市之一，擁有超過500萬的居民。這座城市的多樣性與繁華吸引了無數來自世界各地的人們。想要搬來悉尼生活嗎？在你做出決定之前，這裡有七個你需要了解的重要事項，幫助你更好地規劃未來。
1. 悉尼的區域劃分
悉尼分為多個不同的區域，從市區到海邊，每個區域都有其獨特的特色和生活方式。市中心（CBD）是悉尼的核心地帶，擁有高樓大廈及著名地標，如歌劇院、西區塔、達令港和悉尼海港大橋。而內城區，如Surry Hills，則是充滿潮流感、咖啡廳和活力的區域，這些地方的生活成本較高。相比之下，遠離海灘的南區和西區房租則相對更實惠，適合預算較緊的人。
2. 居住成本
悉尼的房租是澳洲最高的，每週的中位租金約為711澳元。市區的房租較高，而若你選擇較遠離市區的地方，租金會較為合理。例如，市區的單間公寓可能每週超過500澳元，但在西區或南區，可能可以以相同價格租到整棟房屋。
3. 就業機會
悉尼是澳洲的重要商業和金融中心，提供各種專業職位，最熱門的工作領域包括專業技術服務、健康照護、零售貿易等。悉尼的失業率僅為3.3%，顯示出穩定的就業市場。全職工作的平均週薪約為1800澳元，不過，不同行業的薪資水平差異較大。
4. 高等教育
悉尼擁有多所知名大學，包括新南威爾士大學、悉尼大學及科技大學等。對於國際學生來說，學費每年大約在20,000至50,000澳元之間，根據所選的學科和學校不同而有所變化。
5. 戶外活動天堂
悉尼是戶外活動愛好者的天堂，擁有著名的海灘，如邦迪海灘、曼莉海灘和棕尼海灘等。無論是衝浪、登山，還是攀岩，都能在這裡找到合適的場所。此外，距離悉尼不遠的藍山也是遠足和探險的理想地點。
6. 文化與娛樂
除了美麗的海灘，悉尼還擁有豐富的文化活動，如在歌劇院觀賞演出、參加悉尼Vivid燈光藝術節、以及雕塑之海等藝術活動。如果你是藝術愛好者，這些活動無疑會成為你生活的一部分。
7. 交通便利，但需考慮距離
悉尼的公共交通系統十分便利，居民可以通過火車、巴士、輕軌等方式輕鬆出行。最方便的是悉尼的交通卡Opal卡，或直接使用手機支付。然而，若你住在遠離市區的地方，長時間的通勤可能是日常的一部分，因此有些人選擇駕車至火車站再轉乘。

Please do a video of this every year

Thanks a lot ! Your video is very useful because I am Vietnamese and I have Australian-Vietnamese acquaintances, they are all older but in very good health! They are currently living in Sydney and really hope I grow up quickly to visit and live in this beautiful Australia. They also intend to invite my family to Australia because they sometimes visit my house and like me very much. I really want to grow up quickly to live there. Thank you again!

never been but Looks Awesome <3333 City and beachhh ? sign me up

This is very informative, just on time for me 😊

I feel like renting in $500 per week is very livable and managable, idk why so much people complain about the cost of it

Is 100K as a yearly salary enough for renting something nice in Sydney and having decent comfort for living? I'm looking for doing a postdoc in Sydney, because I'm done with the weather in the Netherlands

Hola, primera vez que veo un video tuyo! Somos vecinos en Sudamérica y acá en Oceanía! hahaa... I think in many countries is hard to make new friends for a migrant, except in Latinamerica I guess. Here in NZ I´ve even heard that from Aussies! So imagine... In terms of cost of living you should come to NZ! hahahaa... absolutely crazy! And salaries are usually around 30% lower than in Aus. Wildlife is OK here, very safe!

music...

Rent is per week?

Lithgow and penrith and whalan and bidwill and emerton and shalvey and mt druitt need immigrants to improve the place

I am Australian and would never live in a big city. All the expense goes away if you live regional or even better, rural.

In the CBD, I recommend to anyone to visit the Botanic Gardens. On a nice day, it's so nice to get away from the city and chill out on the grass, maybe have an impromptu lunch/picnic there. It's close to the Circular Quay train and light rail stations.

The suburban train network in Sydney is reasonable, but it's a bit of a hub-and-spoke model. Getting into the city and back from a lot of suburbs is good, but getting from one suburb to another can be time consuming. There are new metro lines being built and opening, as well as light-rail, so it's constantly improving.

$1800 weekly salary in Sydney most likely Gross pay and after tax would be $1,000..

I live in Sydney unfortunately, its expensive, overcrowded and a bit of a dump and severly over rated.

If your rich great, if not....good luck.

Sydney is the prettiest city in Australia. People focus on the harbour and beaches, but the surrounding geography is amazing - sandstone ridges, rivers, mountains, and national parks.

I've been looking at moving to Sydney and this is exactly the kind of information I was needing - thank you so much for this! Very comprehensive. Definitely looking for a beach lifestyle, but makes sense that it would be more expensive to achieve.

Forget the pricing, what are the bugs like??! I’ve seen pictures of Australian critters that look straight from the mouth of HELL!

Who cares it's one of the greatest places ever.

As someone who lives in Sydney, ideally a person needs a yearly income of at least $60k AUD to be able to enjoy the lifestyle.

Sydney weather is much milder. It doesn't get as cold as Melbourne which is closer to Antarctica. It doesn't get as wet as Queensland where they get monsoonal wet season (and further north, cyclones). I like catching the ferry from Sydney to Parramatta or Manly (and being public transport is cheap)

We went around Australia and visited many wonderful places. I wish we could visit way more but check out our travel vlog you will enjoy our experience of this fantastic country. ❤❤

Hi. I see on your YouTube video. Very nice. I need for buy a good running profitable service apartment Melbourne or Sydney. Plz send me all details

Good info👍, See u soon Sydney ♥️♥️♥️

Is it worth moving to Sydney?? Not if you already live in Australia. Aussies don't move TO Sydney, they leave it. Foreigners move to Sydney because anywhere in Australia is better than where they came from.

I would recommend to put the music volume down, or change the type of music in a background, sometimes it is hard to listen what you are saying.

Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤

Breakdown of regions of Sydney:
Major 'hubs' - Sydney CBD, Parramatta CBD (Western Sydney), Chatswood (North Shore), Strathfield (Inner West), North Sydney (North Shore), Hornsby (Hornsby Shire), Epping (The Hills).

Inner West: located west of Sydney CBD. Has the reputation of being the artsy, hipster-esque region of Sydney. Bustling with life with clubs, cafés, boutiques and young students attending uni (whether it's USyd, UNSW, or UTS). Terrace historical townhouses are typical in this region. Use to be working-class in the 80's but is now gentrified to being more upper-middle class. The demographic breakdown is majority Australian of British Isles descent, Italian and Chinese. Example suburbs include: Newtown, Surry Hills, Marrickville, Strathfield etc.

Eastern Suburbs: located east of Sydney CBD. Very ostentatiously wealthy Upper-class area adorned with tons of private schools and waterfront properties. This is where the beaches are at. The location of UNSW is here (Kensington). Main demographics is wealthy Australians of Caucasian background, British and other Europeans. Examples include: Paddington, Darling Harbour, Vaclause, Rose Bay etc.

Lower North Shore: located north of the harbour bridge. North Sydney is typically the closest major hub, though this can be Chatswood if you live on the north areas of Lower North Shore. Upper class area adorned with waterfront properties, expensive homes, boutiques, cafés and some nice beaches and scenic views. It is here Luna Park and Taroonga Zoo are located. Again the main demographics is Caucasian Australian (of British descent) and Chinese. Examples of suburbs include: Northbridge, Milson's Point, Kiribilli, Atarmon etc

Upper North Shore: located north of Lower North Shore. This area is known for being a great area for families. It is quiet, scenic with great connection to public transportation, low crime and great schools private and public. It's a typically affluent, upper-middle and upper class region, where there are tons with lots of money. Expect to see large homes with perfectly manicured gardens with a pool and/or tennis courts at the backyard. Closest major hub is Chatswood and Hornsby, but there is also Gordon and Macquarie to go too. This is the region where Macquarie Uni is located. Demographical breakdown includes Caucasian Australian (of British descent), British, Chinese, Koreans and Indians. Examples of suburbs include: Killara, Turramurra, Pymble, Wahroonga etc.

The Hills: located west of Upper North Shore, this region is a more recent settlement compared to the other areas mentioned. It was traditionally more middle class, though in recent years it has gentrified to a more Upper-middle class sort of region in Sydney. Like the Upper North Shore, this region is quiet and family oriented with great quality public schools, though there is less prestige, less private schools and less wealthier residents. It was originally a very-car dependent region, but because of the metro line, it has been more integrated into Sydney's public transportation system. Demographics wise it's a mix between Caucasian of British descent and Asians (Chinese and Indians). There is a larger Chinese and Indian presence here than other regions mentioned. Examples of suburbs include: Epping, Cherrybrook, Eastwood, Dural etc.

Northern Beaches: located east of Upper + Lower North Shore. There's a term we use in Australia that aptly describes them, "cashed up bogans," which is basically our equivalent of money doesn't buy class. They have a reputation of being chill and quite affluent but at the same time a bit racist, insular and a proclivity for impropriety. Great access to beaches, though largely dependent on cars. Demographics is mostly Australian of British isles heritage, British people, South Africans and other Europeans. Examples of suburbs include: Palm Beach, Mosman, Dee Why, Manly etc.

Sutherland Shire (or just 'The Shire'): This is the less wealthy equivalent of Northern Beaches. Great access to beaches (Cronulla beach), and the people here are quite chill but still insular and racist. The difference here is that there is less of an international presence - most people here were born and raised in this region of Sydney, as was their parents. Examples of suburbs include: Menai, Miranda, Kirrawee, Caringbah etc.

Western Sydney: Located more west than Inner West Sydney region, this region is like a different Sydney. This region is split between Western and South Western Sydney, though the vibe is similar. Working-class to middle class individuals typically of immigrant background. Parramatta/Westmead/Harris Park/Wenworthville/Minto is more Indian, Cabramatta is more Vietnamese and Lakemba/Auburn/Liverpool/Bankstown has a more MENA feel. Great place to try out foods from different cultures. Here, infrastructure is less developed (save Parramatta/Westmead region) and there are higher rates of crime (though again there are pockets where it is less like Parramatta/Westmead). Much more affordable than rest of Sydney and a more different cultural identity, as seen for instance in the Multicultural Australian accent dominance. Examples: Westmead, Auburn, Revesby, Campbelltown, Liverpool etc.
