    Take my words seriously, I bounce between Melbourne and Sydney every few months for work and living.

    I find Melbourne more exciting in terms of culture, art, design and architecture (despite the fact that the Opera House and Harbour Bridge is in Sydney).

    Melbourne is most definitely the place to be if you want to do some serious shopping, which I doubt considering you're down here to explore and discover.

    So, take that out of the equation, you've got plenty places to visit whilst in Melbourne which the same thing applies to Sydney. For nightlife, I do kind of think that Sydney slightly trumps Melbourne but that may be wrong because I have friends in Sydney that is involved with a number of nightclubs, venues and bands- so, I may get the royalty treatment over there, not in Melbourne.

    So, without any bias or hindrance- I'm telling you that you ought to hit both cities and decide for yourself.

    PS: The surf is good in both states (NSW[Sydney] and VIC[Melbourne]) hahaha, couldn't resist putting that in!

    ElPaulo, Adelaide - absolutely miserable (there is nothing to see, poor nightlife, etc). Apart from winery and cricketing.
