Answer
Both Melbourne and Sydney are great cities. I can't say much about Perth though because I haven't been there. I would say that if you are looking to lead a pretty active sporty lifestyle, then Sydney is probably the best choice over Melbourne. Melbourne is a wonderful city with lots to offer, but it's got a little less bustle. You might find it harder to find what your looking for.
Sydney is a gorgeous metropolis which has more to offer beyond it's big city borders. Have a look around and i'm sure the area will have all that and more to offer you. Just remember though, it can be quite expensive to live there.

Can I also recommend Queensland? It boasts a warm climate, beautiful beaches and enough activities to keep you wanting more. You can choose sub-tropical temperatures in the south, continuing up-state to more full-on tropical temperatures in the far north. Queensland has something for everyone:

I think the best thing to do is save up for a little while and go find out for yourself which place you would rather set up roots. A regular tourist visa can get you a 3 month stay in Australia, but note that it won't give you rights to work. Your local travel agent can advise you on how to aquire one.

Fellow Australians - what do you think of these politicians?
matt
1. Julia Gillard.
2. Tony Abbott.
3. Bob Brown.
4. Bob Hawke.
5. Paul Keating.
7. Gough Whitlam.
8. Pauline Hanson.
9. John Howard.
10. Kevin Rudd.
Answer
8. Pauline Hanson isn't currently a politician. A former fish and chip lady from Queensland who has plenty to say for herself. Unfortunately, her views are representive of a grossly underestimated number of people. Thick and ignorant more than anything else. Reminds me of countless QLD defence service wives and GFs, to say nothing of serving members .
7.Gough Whitlam: How can we forget whose government stood by while Indonesia invaded and took over East Timor, to say nothing of the disastrous financial mismanagement incurred? Or the visionaries who introduced Medicare, but then let it be mangled beyond recognition so that we now have a dual system that is actually unfair to anyone who does have private insurances, as well as to the poor b-s who have to wait 3-5 years for a knee or hip replacement in the public health system, or who are waiting for what is laughingly called 'elective' surgery! (Try telling that to someone who's having 6 or 7 gall bladder attacks a week and ends up losing their job, and then discovers that the delay alone has caused numerous other ongoing medical problems, or to the person who's the last on the list for surgery that morning and gets the work-experience student ). On the plus side - at least they funded the arts.
4. Bob Hawke: think you'll find it was this government that first sold out the labour 'principle' of free education by first introducing the Dawkins Tax - that is that all tertiary students had to start paying fees. Introduced by stealth with initially a $250 fee, so that once the structure was in place, fees could be jacked up every year and by every government since. And what was that famous line about 'no child shall live in poverty...by, when was it?'
5. Paul Keating - quite a decent treasurer, not so crash hot as Prime Minister. At least he also put money into the arts. A man of dry wit and brilliant repartee on the floor of parliament house.
10. Kevin Rudd: a sanctimonious know-all, who gave away tax payers money to middle class people so they can buy huge flat screen TVs, but many of the truly poor don't qualify for any of this. Likes posing outside churches. Any will do. As one of Australia's richest men, with one of the richest wives, likes telling poor people what to do, how to eat, and that they should ride their bikes to work. Even if they are forced to live in poorer suburbs 40ks away from their work. Confuses the Chinese with his attempts to speak their language.
1. Julia Gillard: a treacherous, ambitious and cynical politician who would sell her grandmother to Siberia if it got votes. Responsible for providing a lot of schools with buildings they don't want and can't use, when what they really need are GOOD teachers (not people who only got ATAR scores of 50 or so who cant read, spell, use punctuation, grammer or understand basic numeracy). On the plus side, she is an unmarried atheist living with her partner. I like having a 'first bloke'. Don't like her stance on gay marriage though. Think she's being precious, and too politically motivated to get this one right.
3. Bob Brown. Well at least you know what he stands for. The Greens will never have government and will never have to worry about the real cost of any of their 'policies'. On the plus side, he's for gay marriage. Whether that will improve the standards of our hospitals, medical services, education or transport systems, I couldn't say. What you see is what you get here. I like the idea we live in a democracy where people happily accept an openly gay and apparently happily partnered man or woman.
9. John Howard. A boring but cautious politician who at least managed to hold our economy together, in tandem with his treaurer Peter Costello. A dull but sincere person who only appeared to become excited by the cricket. This team at least managed to see to it that Australia had enough assets in was well in the black to survive the GFC. Now that's gone, thanks to Gillard and Rudd, so next GFC..... hold onto your socks everyone.
2. Tony Abbott. A sincere man who thinks he's doing the right thing, but has a bad habit of putting his foot in his mouth. Sees himself as some sort of superman. Out-Putins Putin in the PR macho outdoors man stakes. Wants to come and pose near your business wearing a hard hat, or in lycra at your sports event. On the other hand, that boxing footage from the old uni days is quite exciting. He will never do anything to upset the Christian lobby, so watch out for him on gay marriage, abortion, funding of private religious schools, no matter how crackpot their ideas.
