You really should have a look at this very cool interactive map of the worlds population centres (all 476 of them above 1M.) http://www.citypopulation.de/world/Agglomerations.html

I have pulled some figures from this source for a new perspective.

The site ranks all Principal Agglomerations of the world exceeding 1M people. We have 2 in the Top 100. China has 16, the USA has 14, India has 9, Brazil has 7, Japan has 3.

Here are our cities according to them as at 01/01/2009.

Rank............City...............Pop Est 2008
77 ............ Sydney ............. 4,400,000
92 ............ Melbourne .......... 3,900,000
227 .......... Brisbane ............. 1,920,000
282 .......... Perth ................. 1,600,000
400 .......... Adelaide ............. 1,170,000
BTW, it is silly to suggest that any city in Aus will overtake another within 50 years. The growth rates of each respective city are not big enough to change the order.
