Re: Is Australia officially in a Recession
It might be worth mentioning, Perth is a city, a medium sized, isolated city. The UK is a country. Being a city Perth brings little diversity which can be kind of dangerous. Whilst it's unemployment rate is reasonably low right now it may not be the case in 5 years. Have you researched Perth's main industries? The UK has a higher unemployment rate, which is not a surprise right now, but it have employment diversity. This also helps bring the unemployment rate up.
I suppose your making some sort of point, but it's still half the unemployment rate in Perth, compared to the UK and I might be dead in 5 years time.

Not too difficult, but expensive if you need to move all your stuff - will probably be similar cost to shipping it UK-Perth in the first place.

The majority live in pokey little houses, not sh!tholes though, here in the UK, if you have a big house your lucky and Definately in the minority.

Not all Australian houses are huge and not all UK ones are tiny

Re: Is Australia officially in a Recession
Same here - Had a lovely 4 bed detached in Sussex and live in a small grotty bungalow here - Houses in my suburb are on large plots however, and now when an older one comes up for sale, they bulldoze it and build about 6 nasty little 2-3 bedders which are advertised as bargains from $450K upwards. I'm not getting it, who's buying them?

Furnished rentals are not the norm for general rentals. Holiday lets are available but you will find they are a lot more expensive. We brought all our stuff which fit fine and we have just added to it over the years.
