How do you like the tech scene in there?

I've tried to move to Brisbane around 5 years ago and even had an episode working remotely for a company located in there which wanted to sponsor me, but ultimately the compensation vs COL ratio seemed very bad, even if you compare it to Europe, so I didn't pull the trigger.

At that time there were really only a few interesting jobs in web development (I specialize in Ruby on Rails). Is it better now?
