It all depends what you're into. I've been in Perth for 5 years and love it. The weather is excellent almost all year around which is great for cycling, and there are some beautiful rides along the coast-line / rivers. Even though we are so isolated, we get some of the best house / drum & bass music acts in the world coming here, and combined with the great weather = awesome music festivals. Additionally, I love the fact that I can drive to work in 10 minutes and the CBD in 15. I've thought of moving elsewhere, but in my opinion Perth (and Australia in general) has excellent quality-of-life. Being able to make very good money as a developer is just the icing on the cake.
