Google it! What visitors think of your home

All is revealed about Australia in cyberspace.

There is nowhere to hide.

Thanks to the behemoth that is Google, we can easily determine people’s impressions, thoughts, opinions, and concerns about anything and everything via its suggested search tool.

Start typing 'Sydney is...' or 'why is Adelaide...' and it can reveal some interesting search suggestions. So, we decided to compile a list of common searches relating to a raft of Australian towns, cities, regions, and states.

The following all make the top 10 most popular Google search results for their respective locations. And they make for entertaining reading!
