    I lived in Brisbane and Sydney for quite a while each and have been to Melbourne on the odd occasion.

    I love all but would probably choose Melbourne were it not for friends in each of the others. Its a little more relaxed than Sydney and art and culture is generally more fresh.

    Here’s my 2 cents worth in order of appeal -

    weather: Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne

    Chilled people: Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney

    Art/Design scene: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane

    Music scene: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane

    surf: Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne

    Proximity to snow: Melbourne, Sydney

    Beauty: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane

    Preference: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane

    Also keep in mind Melbourne and Sydney are way bigger than Brissie so the usual population saturation effects take place for better and worse.

    Go for Melbourne. But take an umbrella.
