Western Australia (untill the early '90's IIRC) had 250Vac 50Hz, now we are in line with the rest of Au at 240Vac, and rumour has it (and has been for around 5 years now) that the whole of Au will drop to 230 Vac to be in line with Europe. Although if you measure the average house in Au most houses have around 235Vac.
