We rented an furnished rental for 8 weeks in the end until we got an unfurnished rental. If you're not bothered about a pool that'll be easier but nearer Perth I heard competition's quite high to get rentals i.e. people queing up to view properties. We had originally only booked a furnished rental for 3weeks and had a bit of a panic when we realised what the rental situation here was like.
In my experience rental agents here act like gods - I naively thought you'd go in and tell them what you're after and if anything comes up they'll give you the nod. That didn't happen - had to go in daily (to the agents in the area) to see what new rentals had come up and then view them whenever it was convenient for the agent.
Alot of the time properties come up that don't even make it onto the internet so keeping in touch with agent is a good idea.
In the end we had a stroke of luck as people behind me in the estate agents were breaking their lease and heard me saying that we hadn't found anything yet.
Not sure if you've got kids to think of? If you haven't it's probably easier to be more flexible with your requirements.
Good luck

I think you might find it difficult to secure a unfurnished rental until you're actually here as most of them will not lease one unless you've viewed the property.

There are plenty of sites around to look at furnished and if you go for one without a pool and for more than a couple of weeks you should be able to negotiate a good price.
ie
www.realholidays.com.au
www.holidaylettings.co.uk
Good luck with your move
