Australia sealed a dominant 10-wicket victory over England before lunch on day five of the series-opening Ashes test on Monday, having chased 170 runs without loss in a blow to the tourists' pride.
Steve Smith's team will head to the second test starting in Adelaide on Saturday brimming with confidence after decisively breaking England's resistance at the Gabba.
Openers David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, having driven Australia to 114 at stumps on day four, needed only 56 runs to complete the win and rarely looked in danger.
Vice-captain Warner finished unbeaten on 87, with Bancroft 82 not out after enjoying a maiden half-century in his test debut.
The pair's 173-run stand set a record for an unbroken opening partnership in a successful run chase in tests, eclipsing the 172 set by Archie Jackson and Bill Ponsford against West Indies in Adelaide in 1930.
Debutant Bancroft clinched the match in style, smashing all-rounder Chris Woakes to the long-off fence twice to spark a roar from the modest Monday crowd of 6,154.
"It was good fun obviously, to share a good partnership was nice and to get the win in the end was good," said Bancroft, who later cleared up reports that he had been "headbutted" by England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow at a Perth bar in the leadup to the series.
"I got into a very amicable conversation with Jonny and he just greeted me with a headbutt, kind of thing. I was expecting a handshake."
