Hi, Jess,
Perth is lovely and it'll be hot. There is not a lot to see up that west coast, until you get to Broome. Don't know what you favour as far as sightseeing is concerned, but I suggest you fly from Perth to Alice Springs, take in Uluru and the Olgas and then fly on to Cairns in northern Queensland and then travel south down that coast to Sydney or even Melbourne. That coast is more interesting, there'll be plenty of work to keep you cashed up and I'm guessing you'll more likely meet travel companions there.
Happy to make more suggestions if needed...

I live in Melbourne - just letting anyone who reads this know that Queensland is in the midst of terrible floods. People have died & an unknown number are missing. Our news has reported that around 85% of Queensland is flooded - it's a disaster state right now so anyone with plans to visit should check their destinations beforehand.

Hi,
It's certainly pretty bad at the moment, but I didn't hear that it was as much at 85% (I also live in Melbourne).
Anyway you will be fine along the coast, especially by the time you guys get here. But like Koalablue suggests, check destinations. Cairns has been fine, but Brisbane will be in some strife in the next few days. Maybe start at Melbourne and work your way sround the coast to Sydney and then north instead.

Hi Jess
I'm backpacking round oz too and i'm in and around Perth until the 22nd of Jan so if you fancy meeting up for a drink somewhere just let me know. I'm at the YHA hostel at the mo, its a good hostel if a quiet on the social side of things (at least it has air conditioning in the rooms).
