In the case of astronomy I understand that host countries tend to have favourable amounts of telescope time, however I doubt host states will do better than anywhere else.

I get what you are saying, but that's a bit ahead of me at the moment. UWA and Curtin unis are tied in with the SKA though. Which is why I thought someone may be able to shed light on which might be the better course in that regards. I figured doing project work there would at least help me get my foot in the door. It's all good, after looking at my options, the UWA diploma (studying just the physics core subjects) looks like my only hope. I'm quite happy just learning and seeing what happens from there (I'm not a long term planner, more a bit of a dreamer).
Fingers crossed. I spoke to the admissions people last night and they advised my school results are still good for admission, as is my business degree despite not being at all related. Kinda scary that 20 year old results (especially for math) still qualifies. I think they just want any excuse to fill up numbers when it comes to undergrad spots.
