What is the Acting world like in Australia?

To play Devil's Advocate, I'd question the statement 'As for the industry here... well, it's not that great.'

I'd say it's about as good / bad as anywhere else. Sure it's not London or Las Vegas, but I feel that no matter where you go, if you know where to look, you can always find the culture, and that the opportunities are there. This also means that the competition is there also.

Melbourne is considered by most as the Cultural Centre of Australia yet I would be tempted to say that other capitals are making good headway to challenge Melb. For example, a recent flood of government Funding has seen a swelling in Perth Film, TV and Theatre, both in terms of activity and awareness.

It depends very much on your point of view, as everything does. I personally feel that the industry is very much alive and thriving, even given the current economical climate.
