When Indian students go abroad to study in Australia, they are jet-setting not only into their futures but also jet-setting into some of the most livable cities on the planet! Australia is home to some of the best cities in the world with well-planned metros and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Canberra is the capital of this country which has also been referred to as ‘The Lucky Country’ and ‘The Land of Plenty’. Sydney is the financial and business capital of Australia and also happens to be the largest manufacturing hub in Australia. Other student-friendly cities include Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Gold Coast.
