Best Australian Cities/Neighborhoods
I'm planning on moving to Australia for a year in August, and currently I am having strong feelings towards living in Brisbane but I could use some recommendations. I'm 20, and currently living in Canada as an oilfeild employee. I would like to move somewhere tropical, humid, warm, sunny, or fun. Or any combination of the group. I'm looking to get back into bar tending, so i'm looking for a young, posh, party neighborhood where it would be fairly easy to meet new people and try new things. (Things we dont get in Canada, like surfing 
) My monthly rent budget is between 600-900 if that helps any.
Also, if anyone has any great sites where I can do some research for myself that would be great.

Re: Best Australian Cities/Neighborhoods
Start off in Brisbane. Once there widen your search until you find a place you like.
If you want real tropical try for places like Cairns and Port Douglas.
If you want real fun try the Gold Coast, where there is plenty of bar work and surfing.

Freezing your ass off in 9 degree water?
You can also fish in Nunavut, or sleep on rocks, or pretend your going to the moon with the box your refrigerator came in. Certain things don't appeal to me, the polar bear swim that is Tofino surfing is one of them. I refuse to acknowledge its existence
