If you're going to Perth I'd recommend looking at rentals online prior to leaving. It's not cheap and there's not a lot to choose from. Also, the economy in Perth has hit a bit of a lull so there aren't a lot of jobs to be had. However, if you're just planning on doing some travelling there are a lot of lousy jobs that will basically only give you room and board, although some may provide a little bit of spending money.
As someone else mentioned, it's winter here now. Generally, the high during the day is in the high teens and the low is usually in the single digits, and it rains 3-4 days a week minimum. In Calgary that's pretty nice but here the humidity makes it feel colder than that. Also, most houses aren't insulated and don't generally have central heating. So, if it's 5 degrees outside it may be 10-15 inside the house. They might have A/C that you can use to warm the place but it costs a fortune to run.
However, if you are travelling to the north it is a great time of year. Cyclone season is over and you won't run into the oppresive, sticky heat of the summer. I was up in Ningaloo and Karijini a few weeks ago and it was awesome- not only the weather but it's a largely unspoilt area that is just developing tourism.
If you want more info on Perth or WA send me a PM.
Lastly, I'm confused with the thread tags.
