Not sure how much use these are at the moment, but there does seem to be some cautionary tales here...
Australias Vs its Customers.
Interesting to note Japans big downturn just before Chinas upturn...with Australia stuck in the middle
Australia Vs Similar economies
Could be a bit of an iffy comparison. Canada is a similarly resource based economy, but the main customer is the US. Brazil...much more diverse economy than Aus, but lotsa food and raw materials....couldn't have just 2 lines on the chart ;-)
Some big downturns in both Canada and Brazil well before us.
