Once you are a permanent resident it goes without say that you must live in Australia to be able to become a citizen. There is a certain amount of time (with proof) that you must be in Australia. Permanent resident must live in the country. If you stay out too long you could lose your permanent residency.

You can only apply for citizenship if you have been living in Australia on a valid Australian visa for four years immediately before applying, including one year as a permanent resident. You must not have been absent from Australia for more than one year, including no more than 90 days in the year before applying. http://www.citizenship.gov.au/applying/how_to_apply/conferral_app_process/ See step 2.
