Hi Nathan,
Most of us here would love to move to the country, I would think, if only for the dark skies. I know I have considered it, on more than one occasion, however, in WA country prices match or exceed city prices, unless, of course, if you go to really remote regions. This, of course, as you have mentioned, brings up the issue of work. Unless you have oodles of cash, it is a catch 22 situation, in most respects.
Just a suggestion though; if you work in IT, consider approaching some of the biggest country shire councils, as they may need someone with your expertise. Just don't expect to get the same salary thought. Alternatively, if you can get broadband where you decide to live, can you work from home?
Cheers Peter
