I live in Australia. Grew up in Sydney but moved to a country town a few years ago so now live about 2.5 hrs from Sydney and 2.5hrs from Canberra (Australia’s capital city which is actually pretty small compared to Sydney). Also about 2hrs away from beaches. It’s not as hot where I live now but there’s more of a bushfire threat in summer and it’s a lot colder in winter and snows sometimes.
