I wouldn't say that Brisbane is funky as such. It's more a city with a country town kinda feel, similar to that of Perth and Adelaide. Of course, if you like the outdoorsy things I.e beach, fishing, sport etc then you will love Brisbane.

But if you're looking for a funky city with more career oppourtunity, great shopping, restaurants, concerts/musicals etc, then Sydney or Melbourne would be for you. Melbourne's less expensive & crowded than Syd, but it's weather isn't as good (4 seasons in one day).

If it were me and I had a young family and didn't mind the heat, I would choose Brisbane for sure. It's predicted within the next 20 years, Brisbane will be the 2nd largest city in oz, overtaking Melb, so no doubt the "funkiness" will improve as the city expands.
