My g/f has got the idea that she's moving out there at the end of this year.
I'd love to go with her, but not sure about dropping everything and jumping ship on a whim.

Been 3 times to Perth as the missus' parents live there.
Plenty to do, they have some good booklets at the airport for things to do, so pick one of them up. Weather is very hot at the min, 40 degree's plus
Make sure you have one of these

I'd be off in a heart beat, never been myself but heard only rave reviews and rarely a bad word.

Although theres's loads of reasons to go there the reasons not to are quite big.
No food or water and burning to death are quite bad imo.
