Haha, well I think i'd fit into the 'round these parts' category.
I don't live on the doorstep to Jandakot, about 40-50 mins away, but I've been in WA for about 15 years and went to school here. The reasoning for my inquiries are that the logistics of having a low paid flying job near perth, where we have our support networks, the missus won't have to give up her work or endure a lot of separation would be a lot better than having to scout around the top end.
I may have to do that anyway, I'm just trying to get a feel of whats going on in the job market at the moment, and the flying schools have a vested interest in telling you it's all rosey!
