I have lived here all my life but have also lived for short periods in both Melbourne and Sydney.
Sydney was great if you weren't paying to live there. Everything was expensive except the public transport, they got that right!!
Melbourne is terrible, so full of itself. People from there defend it to the end, but these are the same people invading Brisbane and staying here, but they still whinge that Melbourne is better!!!
We are lucky to have what we do here in the South-East corner of Queensland. Proximity to two great coasts, and the Southbank precinct is pretty good. The city itself is always evolving and you just have to move around to find what you are looking for. The Valley is great and caters for most!!
I love it here!! All you whingers, piss off back to where you came from and leave us alone!!!
