Hi, I'm from Just north of Brisbane and I've just yesterday got back from sydney! I would have to say for a beachy more relaxed lifestyle Brisbane!!! But for a busy interesting and hectic life sydney! Also I think Sydney is probably more your thing its definetly a big city a global city and accepts everyone. where as Brisbane is getting there but is still more of a small town minded kinda city. I'm sure work is avaliable in both cities esspecially Brisbane which is the fastest growing city in Australia In the fastest growing state. Sydney is Cold in Winter and Hot in summer, where as Brisbane is Hot is Summer and temperate in Winter, with the random cold snap of course. Now don't leave out Melbourne which I think has a large Gay comunnity and is very multicultural like Sydney and to a leser extent Brisbane. BVut melbourne is dead cold all the time except in summer where it is extremely hot, last summer they had 48' celcius!!! I would probably choose Sydney for myself becaus eit is busy but its up to you!!!! Hope I helped

If you want culture (a wide choices of plays, concerts, opera etc) Sydeny is the place. It is very crowded, and people are very status orientated there (brands, the car you drive, the suburb you live in). They may have beaches, but trying to find a spot to put your towel is ridiculous. On the other hand Brisbane is the fastest growing city in Australia. Land is getting more expensive. There definitely is more space there, nicer people (probably because they have more space). They (Brisbane) are becoming more and more cultured with Museums, art galleries, big concerts, musicals and plays and lovely parks. It has easy access to the Gold Coast (another great city - my home) with fantastic nightlife, beaches, vineyards, mountains. Close to the Sunshine coast (more beaches, mountains, vineyards), [It actually has been predicted that the Gold Coast, Brisbane and the sunshine coast will join to form a Mega city within 10 years]; 2hr drive to Byron Bay which is so fun, 1 hour to Toowoomba (vineyards, mountains, flower festivals, home cooking, country etc). It has warmer winters than Sydney (every winter I freeze my knockers off-winds from the Snoweys). Brisbane is on the beautiful Brisbane river. It's huge! All in all, Brisbane has a better quality of live, but if you want to climb the Status ladder, to push ahead in the corporate world or to be totally stressed go to Sydney (they do have good public transport though).

And the winner is .......... Brisbane !
I live in Sydney myself but I found that people in Brisbane are more friendlier and helpful than people in Sydney. I have also lived in Melbourne for 2 years and it's very similar atmosphere to Brisbane.
If I had to choose between Sydney or Brisbane, I'd go for Brisbane !

Sydney by far. Brisbane is OK if you like country towns but Sydney is a city. By the way, crime and violence per head of population is lower in Sydney than it is in Brisbane. In any case they are low in both cities despite the opinions of idiots like John Laws and Alan Jones

Sydney without a doubt! Best harbour in the world, great beaches (just as good as any near Brisbane), great food, nice people, awesome bars & clubs. Close to the blue mountains, snowy mountains, and national parks.

Viva Brisvegas
Sydney has more to offer, but is a harder place to live and more expensive. Brisbane offers all you need and it's cheaper to live.
People in Sydney are pretentious and people in Brisbane are friendly and always very polite and very nice.

better in what way exactly????
they are very similiar - Sydney being far bigger and more populated of course. - they both are on the coastline, with beaches north and south of each city, similiar in crime.....
housing is different, Sydney is more crammed up no yards to play in, and is basically a concrete jungle with rats. Brisbane however is spread right out and plenty of space in the back yards, not too polluted or noisy and they are both experiencing water restrictions from lack of rain.

Brisbane. Too much violence in Sydney. Ask about Cronulla or Redfern.
