Young Aussie claims there’s ‘nothing’ to do in Sydney

A young Aussie has taken to social media to claim there’s nothing to do in Sydney, Australia’s most expensive city.

Alannah took to social media to call out the people complaining that there is nothing to do in Sydney when it rains, boldly claiming there is nothing to do in the city even when the sun is out.

“Babe, there’s nothing to do even when it isn’t raining,” she said.

The inner-west resident said there is zero to do in Sydney and no point pretending otherwise.

“Who are you lying to? There’s nothing to do in Sydney at all. Especially when you’re over the age of 15,” she claimed.

“Rain, hail or shine. Nothing.”

Alannah is 19. She lives in the trendy inner west and works as a gym receptionist. At her age, she’s meant to be out and about enjoying life in the city, but she hasn’t been impressed with what Sydney has to offer.

It is a big call.

Sydney’s Australia’s most expensive and arguably the most popular.

People who want to buy in Sydney are paying a big premium to enjoy the city.

According to comparison website Finder, prospective home buyers in Sydney would need an average minimum household income of $263,195 to comfortably service their mortgage.

This is compared to Melbourne’s $169,804 and Brisbane’s $165,312.

Alannah elaborated to news.com.au and admitted that, while there are “definitely things to do”, she doesn’t think Sydney caters to everyone.

“There is a lot of physical stuff you can do, like going on hikes, beach walks and tracks. Which is all good, but in the rain, what can you do?” she said.

The receptionist argued that you don’t have to live in Sydney long too run out of things to do.

“I’ve been to the zoo many times. I’ve seen the different museums. I’ve done everything that can be recommended to tourists visiting Sydney,” she said.

Plus, there’s the fact that there aren’t many affordable options on offer

“Doing activities is also not affordable these days, like doing the bridge climb, Luna Park, and go carting, which are all really expensive for a short period of time as well,” she said.

Alannah also said that so many activities, like going to fancy restaurants, feel too “couple-based” and more like dates than activities single people can enjoy.

Ultimately, the young Aussie reckons there’s not much to do because Sydney’s culture is focused more on hustle than play.

“I think it’s overpriced and the work culture here is more important than living life. People are more concerned with climbing a ladder and burning themselves out when we should get out more,” she argued.

“Rules are also too strict with bars and clubs being really dead in Sydney.”

Alannah said she understands that not everyone will agree with her and that people with different interests might get more out of Sydney, but she’s not sold on it.

“I definitely think it comes down to the type of person, how many friends you have, and what interests you have. I don’t enjoy public settings as much, so I think we need more like chill vibes and activities that introverts can enjoy as well,” she said.

Online, people were divided on whether Alannah’s claim was accurate. Some were in firm disagreement, claiming Sydney is actually really fun.

“There’s so much to do here. I can give you a whole list,” one person claimed.

“How can you be bored in Sydney?” another demanded.

“What is there to do in other places that we can’t do here?” another asked.

Someone else wrote that you have to “dig deep” and recommended activities like escape rooms, movie nights, and spa days.

Of course, there were also people on Alannah’s side that are finding Sydney quite a snooze to live in.

“Sydney is so boring regardless,” one person wrote.

“Finally, someone said it,” another praised.

“You’re right! It is either eat or nothing,” one claimed.
