well then, i suppose paramatta might just scrape in as acceptable 
as for sydney, well there's really nothing to recommend it other than a few obligatory landmarks. melbourne is the sporting, artistic and cultural capital of australia. sydney might be a bit more flashy, but melbourne has the substance. and better weather.
for those non-aussies reading this, there is a rather pronounced sydney-melbourne rivalry. it's mostly just a sydney inferiority complex after melbourne was made the national capital before canberra was built. 
@morbo, there's always the chance someone might want to see the Australian Open golf, Formula 1 Grand Prix, AFL Grand Final, Melbourne Cup and Spring Racing Carnival. oh darn, i forgot that sydney has thugby.

well i suppose you could get a job stacking shelves or in retail (maybe an electronics or mobile phone store?), or perhaps as a general gopher in some business or other.
if you're into swimming in any way there are some other suggestions i could make - but you'd need to pay for the courses (they're usually only a few days long but the qualifications would be recognised both nationally and internationally). i can pm you details if you wish.

oh well, worth a try 
i suppose you could always wait tables, or maybe some bar work, although you might need a Responsible Serving of Alcohol Certificate - which from memory is $20-$30 for a half-day course depending on which state you're in. actually, it may not be a requirement but it would be a bonus anyway.

yeah, once you have the RSA, you can pretty much take it anywhere around the country. you can even do specialised bar courses (basically training in how to pull beers and make mixed drinks and cocktails, with a bit of presentation thrown in) but they are more expensive and take longer. that's what i thought of doing after high school until i got into the swim teacher/lifeguard thing while i was at uni.
