I love how sensitive Brisbane folk are to their beaches.No bullsharks, stingers, jellyfish, nets and crocs for starters and I'm not even from South Australia.
The VIC, SA, WA beaches leave the much vaunted QLD and NSW ones for dead in my experience. The weather is probably a separate discussion, however again, dry summer > humid summer every day of the week. The only discussion is really around winter usability.
The beaches themselves? No contest. Especially non tidal beaches etc.
I've never understood why someone would spend a day at the beach with 10ft surf, straight off the beach.
Sand bars and flat beaches > surf beaches all day long.
