That is a truly amazing salary.

It's regular media reports like this that enforce the 'everyone is rich in Perth' story, therefore high house prices are justified. :D

It's not that much really, if you read into it they're working up to 80 hours a week to get that salary in a harsh climate. $250k over 80 hours a week is $60 an hour, nothing obscene at all, many people working in Perth city earn over that. Fair play to them

We do, sure, but this 1 week on, 1 week off, so effectively $120+ph - which is good candy in anyone's book.
