Brisbane - True Australia, Awesome weather, easy life, no traffic, waterskiing on the river, an hour to the world greatest beaches, sundays spent outside with a beer in hand.
Sydney - Gorgeous to look at, built for tourism, bright lights big city, all about work, traffic sucks, money, awesome inner city beach coves, awesome weather.
Melbourne - All about culture, hideaway bars and pubs, built for melbournians, great food, European inspired architecture, easy traffic, sports mad, fireplaces in winter...

I choose Melbourne... for now
