You'll probably like WA.
I rode with a Victorian for a couple of hours on the way to Norseman. He said that the roads were better quality (there isn't a pothole in the state as far as I saw), the drivers are more considerate (relative) and you can descend on your aerobars at night without hitting an animal (because, apart from one cat in Freo and a few crows, there aren't any).
You might even like the food!
"riding across a pancake flat, featureless desert into a constant headwind which carries the stench of a thousand dead kangaroos while being targeted by crazy drivers and eating shit food"
Sounds just like my childhood, though there weren't enough drivers to worry about until you got into towns and we had nice (for me) options for food. I definitely want to ride it. At the very least because I've never even been to WA.
