The difference in the UK over Oz is probably that land costs in Oz for out
of town warehouses is going to be pretty much zero

whereas in the UK, it makes a huge addition to your costs base.

It's easy to compete with online if your shop space is cheap, next to
impossible if it isn't


Except commercial property or land zoned as such and located in metropolitan
areas in Australia is not particularly 'cheap'

Locate it actually in the arse end of nowhere rather than near the arse end of
nowhere and it might be really cheap
