I'm a hater of both heat and cold, but I hate cold more (continental cold especially). Heat is tolerable only if it's dry heat though (I loathe humid heat as much as Siberian cold). I do, however, anticipate freezing record nights and high daily temps for record's sake though (I am a weather geek so I'd look forward for 'interesting' climate phenomena).
Like you, I also like mild and comfortable weather. Oh...Port Macquarie is FAR from comfortable, really. It's very rainy and humid. I'm guessing rain is comfortable for you?
I enjoy going outside at 28-35c the most so I guess I'm a mild lover. Below 20 is just too cold and I've yet to experience above 40 so I can't say anything about very hot climates.
I prefer temperatures below freezing, but not severely so. -1 to -12 or so are ideal. I absolutely hate temperatures that are slightly above zero, though. It's wet, it's still cold, and the snow turns into slush. If all temperatures between 0 and 17 could be skipped, that would be ideal for me. I also like very warm to hot summers. I'm very happy with the climate right where I am. Parts of Eastern Europe look like they have better winters, but the summers are too short.
Mild weather most of the year with warm to hot weather preferred in summer. Winter days should be mild but the nights should be cool enough to have a crisp feel. Days should be warm enough so you can feel comfortable standing outside with only a hoodie but cool enough that you don't sweat when jogging or on a bike ride. Daytime highs in the 60s with nights in the 40s.
Summers should be warm enough to be comfortable in shorts and a tee shirt into the evening hours. Beaches should be warm enough to swim on most days from June through September. Daytime highs in the 80s, evenings in the 70s, getting into the 60s very at late night and early mornings
I can't stand San Francisco's summers even though it's a mild year round climate because the fog and wind make most of their summer days feel colder than L.A.'s winter days.

I like lots of variety, having consistent weather gets boring. For me:
Summers: Warm/mild with a few cool days thrown in, windy, the occasional thunderstorm, drier than winter and spring, one short heat spell (85+ degrees F) per year
Autumn: Driest, sunniest part of year, cool and crisp
Winter: Cold (obviously), wettest part of year, ~125 inches of snow, preferably sunny whenever it's not snowing. Coldwave in early January, mild spell in late February that melts most of the snow (snow still falls through March and about half of April)
Spring: Mild, stormy (rain), short season-transitions to summer quickly

I have no idea what temps below 50 and above 100 feel like so I don't know if I'm a mild or extreme lover. For summers I want a mildish one though, with decent sunshine. San fransisco is about perfect, minus the fog.
I generally prefer year-round mild climates like those found in northern California and parts of northern Spain as well. Places like New Zealand/Tasmania and parts of the UK as well. Somewhere in between the 40º-66ºF range for the year would be perfect. I don't mind seasonal climates, I just can't deal with nasty, humid summers and would prefer not to deal with brutal winters. I do love autumn though, that nice crisp break after a sometimes hot summer. Somewhere seasonal like Denver though
