Perth...we want our kids to take up glue-sniffing and bestiality when they get older!

In all fairness to Brisbane,...unlike Perth-it has merits, the coast nearby, the tambourine Mnts, the glitter of surfers-and a pretty OK city in itself.

Tasmania ... We are over 50 and want the quiet life with beautiful scenery.

Darwin ... We've just been released from the institution, it sounds a "clever" city.
Sophisticated is definately me! Off to Melly I go!

I wish this myth about cheap houses in Perth would go away. That was three years ago - we can't find one for love nor money that we can afford round 'ere.

Australia being cheap is a myth, not too sure who told me you would have a better standard of living and have more cash in your pocket.

which is a myth

Tis right. Perth prices are still booming while the rest of the country is pretty flat. You need to be looking at around $400,000 for a good un in a good area now. Add $200,000 if you want a beachside suburb.
