Does anybody know when the school year starts in Australia?  Is it
September or another month?

Also, does anybody have any information on PhD programs in Computer
Science at any of the Australian universities?

Thanks in advance,

Australian school schedules are:
 Infant, grade, high schools: Start in (early) Feb.
				End in (mid) December.
 Universities:		      Start in March.
				End in (late) November.

Breaks are in May for fall break and Sept for spring break.
Christmas break is the long *summer* break between grade levels.

PhD pgms in Com Sci:  Contact the Austrailian Embassy in Wash D.C
	or the "Australian Consulate General" in the large cities.
	Some Univ to consider: Sydney, NWS; Flinders, SA; UW Melbourne, VIC;

The above info provided by my wife (an Aussie) and she insisted that I
add a statement to the effect that Australian schools are of a very
high standard.  So done.  Undoubtly, now that they've *got* the America's Cup,
their standards will fall as is the likely case with any group with big heads.
