I have been to Sydney 20 years ago.........loved it.
Never been to Perth, but as you say a visit to both would help.
If you had three weeks, would 1 week in Perth, 1 week in sydney and 1 week in Brisbane be do-able for a sense check of each ?
Reminding her that I may be unemployed in Perth for ages is still my favorite line of attack to her inflexibility........

You stole my line!
Seriously though, I wouldn't force the issue...give her the pros and cons and then agree to decide when you get there

Thanks
Folks - thanks for all these suggestions.
I printed off the "poisonous snakes in perth" page someone linked me to..................left it on the kitchen table - she ignored it
this morning.......
I'll drop it on her lap tonight again.
So far favorite line of tack is:
I'll be unemployed and we'll struggle financially
50,000 volts treatment
Snakes are everywhere so there's no advantage
