Sydney has a beautiful harbour, beaches, landmarks. It is such a beautiful city. If Sydney is not the most beautiful main city in Australia/NZ, which one is for you?
Melbourne?Brisbane? Perth? Adelaide? Auckland? Wellington? Gold Coast? I think the rest of the cities are too small.
Melbourne is a great city, but its natural setting does not compete with Sydney. I think Adelaide is one of the more underrated cities in the developed world, but nothing immediately around the city center that wows you outside of a great park system. Auckland has a nice harbor, but Sydney beats it many times over because the beaches are better. Perth has amazing beaches, but the scenery is so-so.
Wellington has a nice harbor and very nice scenery with great views throughout the many compact neighborhoods.
A bit small perhaps, but they call themselves a city, (although doesn't fit to criteria of being a main city, hence taking a bit of poetic license in bringing it to attention) with what is termed as the second best natural harbour in the world, surrounded by fine beaches, thriving tourist industry , a rugged West Coast Ireland or Cornish type coast line, with 'moody' weather, self termed Rainbow Coast.
There is an increasing variety of quality dining facilities and very good wine is produced with in the area.
It is the historical capital of Western Australia and the original settlement in that state. Sadly a number of the old buildings of the past have been long demolished, but an historical sense of place remains.
In all honesty this city should have double or more the population of some 37,000 that now call it home.
Besides having an ideal natural harbour, visible at the bottom of the main street, it has majestic views over looking The Sound and the Southern Ocean.
Not a major city but worthy of mention, as don't find a lot of difference between Perth and Adelaide and I suspect Brisbane (without ever being there) Melbourne, has a vibe but hardly very attractive in many measurements.

Oh dear all wrong. Although wasn't a meant to be a test on what has been learnt in class to date during the year (it was a simple error of admission) it is clearly evident they'll need to be extended tuition after hours to bring the class up to something resembling scratch.
Fremantle doesn't strike me as resembling the Irish West Coast . Perhaps shades of a Mediterranean town but far distant from Cornwall as well.
I hadn't noticed New Zealand had been towed to of the West Australian coast either. Must do a check on that one in case I missed something.
I certainly wouldn't mind dropping in on Queenstown and have the South Island vista within easy reach. Even Bay of Islands would do.
I seem to detect writing that it was the historical capital of Western Australia. No scholars of Australian history evidently on this forum.
Convict labour built the rather attractive Town Hall. More than 7% of the population was born in England. It was for a considerable time the only land based whaling station in Australia.
It has something of an English seaside vibe to the place. That and the weather probably responsible for attracting so many UK born.
The name being of course Kincinnup. (as known in the local Nonger language)
