According to some background info, it ties in with the album's story about Arthur's family and comes a bit from real life. His son and daughter-in-law are dead-set on moving away from drab England to Australia, which they've been told is the greatest place on earth. Of course it's seen through Arthur's point of view, so it's incredibly sarcastic and overblown. Also Dave Davies' sister moved from Australia with her husband, so that sorta gives an interesting perspective too.
