on paper you might live in Perth

The same distance as you do in Sydney and Melbourne.....and have you seen the freeway going south at rush hour... must take 1.5 hours to drive your 45 minute trip

bit misleading saying i got a house built for 300 grand on the outskirts of perth when the OP is more than 60kms out of the cbd ...

Manchester is closer to Liverpool than you are to Perth, not the outskirts in my opinion

out skirts of perth....?

the only global city yes

my point being somebody with London and the southeast money will buy a bigger property in Australia unless they move to Sydney or Melbourne, like i said take your money up north and see what you get. They are the only cities you could put in a bracket with london

Mandurah...?

the thing is your saying your get more for your money in Queensland... you will but then your moving from the southeast where property is high to somewhere where property will generally be cheaper, you try buying something in Sydney for your money and see what you get, how much of a bigger property would you get and took your 423 grand up north...? a large period home i would guess . you can only compare house prices from London and the southeast to Melbourne and Sydney, the only 2 true cities in australia

So you believe people in Adelaide earn 10% more than the rest of the country and people in Nottingham earn about 65% less than the rest of the country...?

average salary in Australia is i think 72-74 grand a year... your figures are wrong ... i think the average uk salary sits at around 25 grand... cant be bothered

average house price in Adelaide $532000 ( 266000 pounds)..average house price in Nottingham is 146000 pounds.. you need to earn more in Australia to service big mortgages... always seems to get forgotten does your biggest purchase and biggest monthly bill

In most cases the cost in housing is also huge unless your London and the south east based

I'll be going to billings gate fish market and Smithfield meat market... Problem solved

Have you brought a house

And you forgot to say the cafes stuck between Gold Coast and Brisbane on a freeway.. So not family friendly or easy to get to, paper and crack comes to mind ..

Not from Australia no

Royal Tunbridge Wells please

Advertising Or cooking isn't their strong point then..???

Thing is people paper over the cracks to try and paint a Rosie picture.. People desperately digging up the odd place here and there which are cheaper than the rest, this I can fully assure you doesn't represent the true cost of Australia.. be prepared to pay way higher prices than expected or be willing to travel to these so called cheaper places which I can fully assure you will be either A , in a place which is way out of the CBD or B in a less disirabl area . Good luck on your travels

I wouldn't be seeing it.. The bin would ..!!!

You telling me that's not burnt ..?!

Don't you mean you can get a burnt breakfast for $5

people rave on about earning more than they did in the UK but forget to mention they had to take out a $400000 + mortgage to buy a house , gets swept under the carpet does that one

How about the astronomical house prices people pay in Perth...? Apart from the south east I bet people are paying double what that pay elsewhere .. Bye bye the extra money people earn, unless you want to live 73638384738738 kms out of the CBD
