Not sure about Adelaide, but Sydney you can't find 200k units or houses anymore, i mean standard ones not those studio or one bedroom type. At least around 400k and above, about an hour away from city.

Personally I think salary is more or less the same, excluding forex. The difference is in living expenses like Harry mentioned the vehicle price. And public transport here is pretty robust, you can go anywhere without a car. And then the food cost, AUD2.5 per kg of Apples here vs RM2.5 an Apple each in Msia. Even banana here is cheaper. So it makes a lot of difference when you can save a lot more money.
