depends on your constraints. if you don't see yourself spending the substantial time required to get to the gramps/araps/buffalo and back on a regular basis, then definitely sydney. particularly if you also like bouldering (melbourne itself = bluestone walls + gyms). nearest real rock climbing to melbourne (of any kind) is 45 min or so away.

if you're prepared to do a lot of travelling, then melbourne would be at least as good.

since you're from adelaide, i guess your access to arapiles and the grampians was not too different to what it is from melbourne. if you visited them both a fair bit, then why not go to sydney for a change of scenery?

otherwise, both are great cities to live in, provided you live in a suburb suited to your lifestyle.
