Brisbane is closer to being like Sydney and melb than Adelaide.
Other than the 4 big cities, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, the rest of the country is generally a socio-cultural backwater.
That said, something like 53% of the Australian population live in those 4 cities.
So Adelaide is next cab off the rank, and as gary stated, it and all cities below really, tend to be full of caucasians (or new skilled immigrants filling out their points) with little ambition beyond a 9 to 5 job and settling down to live the feminist "dream" of 2 kids, zero sex after 4 years and divorced after seven with the man paying child support to a fat ex-princess.
Maybe some ambition extends towards owning a cafe or (multi)national retail franchise selling tyres/petrol/fast food/etc.
As far as being cosmopolitan or worldy, I would compare Brisbane would be something like Denver.
