A bit confusing what I wrote as may be thought of as Perth being cheaper, after rereading. This is far from the case. Perth does not have lower rent or lower price for a bottle of wine. In fact...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

I guess the jury is out on this one. I think most would agree it is harder for more recent migrants, than those of a generation ago and more.
