You will love it. Im currently sat 2 hours away from Perth.
When you get here, and fancy a good sunday lunch, with a good fun drive home. Go to "Ye olde Quindanning Inne" Via

My only regret is not doing it sooner.
How hard can it be?

Just dont expect it to be like the UK but warmer, 'cos its not.
Dont become a whinging pomme like many other expats here.
But go with the flow and you'll love the change in lifestyle.
Cheers

Out of interest, what are the big differences? Do the whinging pomme's have a reason to whinge?
I mean, apart from the fact everything is poisonous, or trying to eat you... or both!
Oh, and the heat, the droughts, the flooding, the wild fires, the disgraceful human rights record and ongoing racism towards aboriginal people, Rupert
Murdoch, Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson, and people thinking a "barbie" on the beach is an acceptable way to spend Christmas day! 
I did love Julia Gillard's comment about newspapers yesterday: "just don't write crap"!
Cheers,
James

Nice one for having the dangles to give it a go. We have been umming and arring over Nz for longer than I care to remember.We even have Residence
Visas!!!!
I have an uncle in Perth. We've been to Sydney and Brisbane...On the small bit we saw, Oz wasn't for us though.
But to repeat , good on you for giving it a go. Oh,Good Luck as well.
..Which was nice..

You'll find WA a challenge! Like living on an island, about 200 miles in diameter. Thousands of miles from anywhere. I was in Fremantle in 86-87
with the Stars and Stripes Americas Cup campaign, and we found it cheaper and quicker to airfreight from California, than wait for transport from east
coast. It's better nowdays, a bit.
Have you been to Perth? 20 miles east and and over the escarpment, and you're in the desert. 10 miles north, and you're ...similar to
east. Strange thing I saw, is that all the trees up the coast lean over to the north, due to constant and strong southerly winds. So, you're
left with about 200 miles or so to the south and southeast, which is well worth it. Oh, and some very good wineries to the south. Margaret River area
is renowned for quality wine, and the river mouth for good surf. (and not too shabby topless beach!)
On the freight situation, ask a transport/shipping company about a container. I got a quote to Brisbane recently for under £2k, my door to the dock.
The biggest costs are moving the container at each end. If you can load it at the depot, and unload at the docks/depot in Aus, you can save a few
pounds.
Cheers,
Nev.

When in Sydney last year we had decided to visit my wife's cousin in Perth for a few days - bit of a shock when we realised that the flight took
around 4 hours! You can get quite a long way out of Europe on a flight that long... and that was just to go from one side of Oz to the other. 
Close to when we were about to fly, we saw a news presenter talking about the trouble one of the internal air carriers was having with its chickens...
CHICKENS!?
Then we realised that she was a kiwi, and she was talking about the company's CHECK INs, which had failed big-time.
