Auckland- SO similar to Sydney?

Hey. I have just moved to Auckland from Nelson and the first thing I have noticed is how similar it is to Sydney. Harbour bridge, north shore (etc.). I don't really like Auckland and prefer Nelson but I have such a good job here and my kids are pretty happy at their school and we have a good house in a nice area but still Nelson is the best lol.

Who else thinks sydney is similar?

they seem to have ripped off sydney a little with its sky tower, its harbour bridge and its north shore, but lets not tell the aussies that, they have big enough heads about themselves already

sydney is similar but the temperatures there are a lot higher in summer. with a population of 4mil+ there are more opportunities jobwise etc but the cost of living and housing is dearer.

No I don't think it is like Sydney. I lived in Sydney for years and now live in Auckland. I hate Auckland as well - much preferred Wellington and Rotorua. I suppose if you are going to make comparisons it is more like Sydney than the other cities, and Christchurch a bit like Melbourne. Perhaps because I've lived in both cities for so long I'm more aware of the differences but if I'd just moved here I might find Auckland a miniature of Sydney - maybe - by stretching my imagination.
