What is Australia's most multi-cultural city?


Thinking it would be Melbourne due to their high asian, meditaraniean and indian population, as well as a largely growing african presence.
I no Sydney has a reputation as a diverse city but it was mentioned that it has racism problems, is that true? Not sure about the other cities - Adelaide?, Brissy? etc.
what are some others opinions?

umm... that person who was like we have whole suburbs in sydney with different races... that's why there are issues in sydney... in melbourne everyone sort of lives everywhere there are areas with higher concentrations of different races but in each of these areas there are almost jsut as many people who are not that race... basically Melbourne doesn't really have set areas for each race it's just like a big mix...

Yea, Melbournes pretty up there with the multi-cultures.

Melbourne has a cooler climate that was easier for Europeans to come to.

If you are in Melbourne, visit Geelong this weekend for the Pako festival - the annual multi-cultural parade begins at 11am and stalls and music happen from 9 am to 7 pm
(Pakington St, West Geelong)

Darwin has a very strong presence of Indonesian, Filipino, African, Greek, Italian, Chinese, German people.

Maybe even Canberra. I work with people from France, Japan, Turkey, Kenya, India, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Vietnam, Malaysia, Australia and England. I don't think I have left anyone out, and that is a group of just 25.

Racism in Sydney is a bunch of redneck locals having one brawl with a bunch of redneck Lebanese in Cronulla. That's about it. neither side had much to brag about when the mess was washed up.

The Cronulla beach area is known for big brawls, in the early 1960s it was surfers fighting rockers. It's almost a tradition there.

I think Melbourne may be it too.
With in sight of my House we have
Aussie
Kiwi
Tongan
Maori
Greek
Chinese
Cambodian
Thai
Indian
Italian
Filipino
Pakistani
Lebanese
English
Scottish
and a few others I'm not sure about

There are some unusual marriage combinations too
& the weird thing is I'm in Werribee the outer suburbs

Definitely Melbourne - especially the western suburbs.

We play "spot the aussie" here in Sydney. I haven't been to Melbourne, I think it would be very similar to Sydney but find it hard to imagine there are more non-aussies there than Sydney. We have whole suburbs taken over by Lebs here - Bankstown, Punchbowl... they're taking over Auburn, Lidcombe as well... its scarey..
