Although 80% of Australian live near cities, the cities are not as large as those in some other countries. Most people live in houses in suburbs – not in apartments. The suburbs usually have their own churches, schools and shopping centre. They also have recreational facilities. In large cities, like Sydney, the suburbs are often far from the town. Because many people commute to work, the traffic is slow and there are many traffic jams.
