On a serious note the way the economy is all over the world at the moment i would stay put.
Australia has handled the GFC without going into recession, one of only 2 in the developed world. Our interest rates have gone up in last 2 years 6 times just to slow the economy.
There is alot of work for you in Western Australia, you can earn serious dollars on off shore rigs, and if you have mining background there is over 80billion in projects about to start over next 2 years alone. It is very expensive here, but if your earning the good coin you won't notice.
I'd suggest Perth for you, plenty of poms if you get homesick. Try it for few months, you won't have regrets that way. Perth is prob the best place to raise a family here. Goodluck whatever you decide.
