Sydney has proudly been Australia’s largest city since the 19th century Gold rush but this has now changed. Melbourne’s rapid population growth due to international migration now has 4,875,400 people- just 18,700 more than Sydney now. People have been. “It’s because more people have been moving out of Sydney, going to other parts of Australia, than have been moving in the opposite direction. Whereas in the case of Melbourne, in some years more people have moved to Melbourne than have moved out,” Nick Parr, a professor of demography at Macquarie University, explained.
