british residency?

Question

i am australian and my girlfriend is british. we have been currently living together in australia for 4 years. she has her australian permanent residency and i am trying to find how i go about getting a residency in the UK as we plan to go back there to live. i have tried british consulates and immigration websites and finding it impossible to get information. do i need to be a temp resident of the UK first to get my perm residency??? is it easier for me to get perm residency in the UK as my partner is british??? anyone who has any info on this matter or has gone through the same process any info or websites would be much appreciated thanx
