Gee sobbering reading chaps! Oxford have opened a new facility here at Perth (thats the original Perth) and are looking at paying around 30k (UK money), thats 75k aussie I think, and the living around PTH is very reasonable expense wise. Over here only experienced instructors can teach to commercial level, so maybe oz does not really have an equivilant seeing as anyone can teach the whole remit. Still, for an experienced instructor over there it sounds grim! Hey CFI, do you do UK training at your school? Many schools in the states are now training towards a UK licence, maybe some Brits would like to do their UK licence in the best country on earth instead!
