Physics "Down Under"

I'm considering Australia for university, and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for universities, primarily in Sydney, secondarily in Brisbane/Melbourne, tertiary in Perth. How are the requirements? Currently I'm a IB International Baccalaureate student, so trying to trick somebody into believing Norwegian grades are any good won't be a problem.

Hmmm - I live in Melbourne. I don't know much about international admissions but you can try going to the university website - I am sure they will have information there.

Since, I am in Melbourne, I can only name you the good universities in Melbourne which is Melbourne University and Monash Universisty.
