I don't want to be too pessimistic but a degree in any vocation without something else to go with it probably won't get you a better job than on a checkout at a supermarket or a fast food outlet. I have sat on interview boards.
I would expect the available careers in astronomy/astrophysics anywhere in Australia would number less that 1% of those looking for them. The openings in civil engineering would most certainly be a better % but you would still need something more than a degree.
