Australia Cascading Bubble Inputs Redux

Input 1 is the same as everywhere else, low interest rates. Input 2 kept Australia from falling along with everyone else (the U.S. is shown for comparison). The influx of money from selling to China can be measured a few ways, but here I have included Terms of Trade from this government site. I overlaid it with the Economist.com Clicks and Mortar Chart.
