Schools Anyone in Australia - Advice on prospective universities?

[Riot Prrl]

First of all, yeah, newbie here, "Yo wassup dawgz!" and all that.
Not really much of a forum user, more of a lurker, so sorry in advance for any ignorance I may portray forum-wise.

Anyway, I know this is a pretty specific question, but I figured I might as well post and see what I get.

I've been thinking of doing a combined Comp. Sci./Science course (which is only offered at UNSW, at least from what I've looked at) when I leave school, though from what I gather at most other universities science is a pretty flexible course, so choosing a course isn't really the problem.

I'm guessing most of the info I've been getting from going to open days at various unis (save for a good look around the campus) is mainly just self-promotion, so I'm interested in getting the opinions of people who've done/are doing a Physics course at a university in Australia (preferably NSW, but I'm open to others too).

I've looked at sites like rateyouruni.com.au /etc. but they don't seem to provide many detailed ratings specific to the courses I'm thinking of doing.

So, anyone who's done/doing any physics/computer science course at any uni in Australia, care to tell me what it was like at your specific uni? Teaching-wise, the content of the course itself, etc.?
Any help is much appreciated! =)

I'm at ANU doing Physics :).
These are the list of courses offered by the college of Science:
http://studyat.anu.edu.au/acad_orgs/195/courses/undergrad.html
I'm currently still in my first year so I can't really tell u much about the more advanced Physics courses, but we do matter & interactions in first year - the usual momentum principle, energy principle and electromagnetic stuff in first sem, and now we're doing waves and optics, angular momentum, special relativity and more on EM interactions.
We have a phB program here for Science. You can apply for that if you have UAI 99+. It's not all that different but u get a research project every 2 semesters or so.
I don't know too much about the Comp Science program but I guess it should be good. It's an honours course and only students with UAI 98 + are accepted.
