Brisbane

Pros: Outstanding climate - winter does not exist, it's clear skies and sunny every day. Large enough to get major events. Access to nature. Relatively cheap (compared to Syd/Melb). Good nightlife. Great cafe culture. Good job market.

Cons: Summer is 30-35c and humid often with storms. Max 14 hours of sunlight. Over an hour drive to the 'nice' beaches. Many international departures require a stop in Sydney. Car culture.

So it's outstanding except all the times when it's not.

Being able to watch the afternoon storm roll in on the verandah with a beer in hand counts as outstanding weather for me :)

I visited Brisbane for YOW once. Out of the three cities, I found it the best (this was summer in December, so it was hot).
