And yeah, I know not everyone lives on the east coast, that's why my previous post specifically mentioned guys who live in Perth ideally getting a base where they live.
You're right, 80% of the population lives one the east and LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY! You can have your funnel web spiders and your toll roads, we'll enjoy our sunsets over the Indian Ocean and our 23.5 hours a day of no rush hour traffic.
You're also right about the tyranny of distance with commuting to/from Perth. OK for long haul but that's about it (though I do one guy who commuted AKL PER for an 100 gig!).
