where would I kite more? working in sydney cbd or brisbane city?

possible to kite after work if I worked in Brisbane cbd? wouldnt be possible in Sydney.

People are nice in Brisbane
Sydney has cleaner water (just dont drink the drinking water )
Brisbane has less traffic
Syndey is more expensive to live... particularly if you are doing a lot of driving
Brisbane has better wind
Syndey has better beaches
If you are prepared to drive 1.5hrs on a weekend then Brisbane has better beaches
Brisbane has warmer water
Sydney has better mountains and hiking
Syndey has better surf

I think brisbane that levels score at 5 vs 5...

You would kite more in Brisbane due to more wind, better directions and less gusty. Sydney tends to get more offshore gusty winds due to the headlands and the mountains to the south and west and the steep rocky headlands. The northerly winds bring in the bluebottles.

If you are just as happy to go out surfing then Sydney is the far better location for after and before work surfs (if you can handle crowds that is)

Both cities have too many jellyfish.

After work kiting, if working in Bris CBD is very difficult. Remember we dont have daylight savings here so even in mid summer it gets dark relatively early. Throw in the afternoon / evening stroms and it becomes rare to make it to the beach after work.

They put the city in the wrong spot, a couple of km further towards the sea and all would be better!

Traffic in both cities suck, Sydney cause there is so much, Bris cause noone here knows how to merge etc. Neither have very well planned roads either!

Why do you have to choose between one of those? Find something to do outside of a city.

finishing uni so trying to plan where to live.

guess I just have to hope for a job offer in Perth if I want to get a decent amount of kiting in

rusty, I nearly get beaten up everytime I suggest Qld needs daylight savings. I really dont know what people think the benefit is in not having daylight savings. I have heard some crackers though;

the kids will get skin cancer
the milk will go off before it gets to the shops
they will need airconditioning in all the school buses

the list just goes on...

The two cities that let you kite the CBD, or close to it, would be Perth and Melbourne. Pretty cool if you work in Melbourne CBD you can catch a tram and be on the water in 30 min.

You can't beat WA though for consistency of wind though. Be prepared to buy smaller kites!

Heard a corker about daylight saving,

"It would disrupt the public transport system, the 7 o clock bus struggles to get there on time as is. changing the clocks would only make run an hour later"

Not sh*^ing you I read that in the courier mail about 9 months ago.

Ive got some mates who just change their clock anyway.

cant agree more queensland needs to get its head out of its arse!!!!!!!!!!
