How much money for 6 weeks in Perth?

I am going to be visiting Perth in Australia for six weeks this Christmas, my boyfriend will already be out there renting a place with a friend so I will probably just have to give them a small amount towards their bills. My boyfriend will probably pay for a few things, not a lot, but I want to take enough money with me so I'm not struggling. I will need to pay for food and probably going out a few times but nothing very extravagant. I was thinking of taking around £1000. Do you think this sounds like the right amount? Enough, too much, not enough? Because I just have no idea at all. My boyfriend is going out there this October for 5 months so I guess he will be able to tell me how much he thinks I will need before I arrive but just want to know in advance really so I can get saving! Also I'm not entirely sure of the currency conversion rate at the moment!

    Mmh, Perth is very expensive (I've heard it being likened to Paris if that helps?). Drinks, food, going out, petrol, bill prices, rent, all expensive. IMO, save as much as possible, and then you can budget and have some left over :) better to be over-prepared than under.

    Not enough, and you are going to need to provide some iron-clad proof that you are going back or immigration is going to be very wary that you have a boyfriend out here already.

    Allow about $100 a day. You can always take extra money home.
