Cairns. I love Cairns. My friend who loves Sydney since he emmigrated 4 years ago is on holiday to Cairns at the mo and his called and texted time and again and he is raving about the place. He went there backpacking in the early 90's and his shocked at the change.
When we EVENTUALLY move out there I'd love to live up there, luckily the other half liked it a lot as well.
