Let me ask this question then....  If you could live anywhere in Australia, where would it be?  We are not keen on big cities and would not have any reason to live in one or even close to one.   We would have no problem traveling around to get our initial orders from retailers. We would then simply ship re-orders to them.  That's what we do now...      My perfect plan would be to buy a nice boat and live on it. That's what we did in San Diego for a few years and it was incredible!  I doubt the wife would be "on board" to that idea.....  I might could sell her on the idea for a year or so!

I'm biased because I already live there, but Adelaide - I love it here. It's "quieter" than most other capital cities in Oz, and not necessarily the hub of anything, but it's not isolated from anything either, and it has a great artistic community vibe. There are a few tourist destinations, even those considered a little more rural, though still relatively close to the city - a half hour drive from Adelaide and you're in "the country" (eg Hahndorf - basically a street of gift shops, Barossa Valley - wine country). SA is also the cheapest mainland state to live in.
