I'm off to Auz in summer i think to see my sister in Brisbane. While i'm there i'll be treating it as if i live there...jsut to see if i like it. Then i'll decide if i'm going to sell up and go there for good 
If i sell everything including my flat, i should have a nice little wad of cash to take with me

Neither really.
Booked everything individually, but staying in hotels etc. not really backpacking it! Also using internal flights rather than road trips.
Just got to sort out accom. in Brisbane then its sorted. But we don't want to stay in Brisbane itself for 5 nights so are trying to plan where to go around Brisbane. Possibly hire a car there.

Been to both, and both were great, but if I had to pick one....hmmmm hard to choose, Im gonna say Sydney.
Loads to see and do there, the bridge climb is amazing 
But the Barrier Reef is brilliant too

Ill be contemplating the same as well, im meeting my friend whos living in Brisbane and hopefully she'll convince me.
im booking it all individually, barrier reef dives, surf lessons, fraser island safari, gold coast, byron bay, sydney, youth hostels everwhere.
Cant believe how cheap the internal flights are compared to coaches.

"is that good enough for me"
You sound like a right twat tbh, theres no wonder all you're friends sacked you off on NYE
While my sister was touring round Auz a few months ago before settling in Brisbane, after all the cities they went to (and i mean alot), they said Sydney was nothing they'd expected...all hype they said.
Now dont spit ur dummy out cyperspunky....its just an opinion

why dont you just read your original comment. 'Sydney is not all its cracked up to be". i responded to that comment by saying that its much better than any other Australian city. i dont understand why you are getting so upset
If you had actually been there i might understand... i dont get why people would say "its not all its cracked up to be". it has everything and more compared to other aussie cities
