I've always thought it was 'in' but recently I've often heard 'at'. Sounds weird to me.
Does it change if we talk about Mount Isa or Cairns or the Gold Coast?

Well, someone needs to tell the SUNRISE morning TV program that we all think it should be 'in'.

I say 'in'. In English, if the place name is considered to be a point, you'd use 'at' (e.g. "the weather at Syndey Airport"), whereas if the place name is a region (usually a city or suburb) then you use 'in'.

I've never heard "at" used with regard to a city, although it could be an Australian peculiarity. I've heard "at" used for things like mountains, national parks, beaches, etc., but not cities.
