Australia's most liveable cities

from w
Suncorp sorted out statistics for Australia's most liveable city and out of 30 Geelong came in as 25.  Launceston in Tasmania came in first.  Stats were for various aspects of community life.  Although some people used to call Geelong 'Sleepy Hollow' I would think that many people do consider Geelong to be a top city to live in.  I'm surprised that in the education stats Geelong came in at 27th because we do have a university, a TAFE, prestige colleges such as Geelong Grammar and Geelong College and International. Statistics of course depend on the criteria and methodology of the authors. There are two areas for health - one is how often people visit a GP, the other is an assessment of personal health by the people used in the data collection.
