>From the data you provide I feel quite sure that WW's migration is indeed
ATTITUDINAL. Like many other Australian residents, particularly Victorians,
their attitude seems to be that Townsville is a terrific place to be in the
winter but not so good in the summer. It's an attitude with which I have
some sympathy.
(Just kidding. My levity obviously is trying to disguise my complete
ignorance about the substantive and interesting question you are asking. I
look forward to some of the more serious responses.)
