All experience is good but you may not be able to use them as logged hours towards your PPL.At least they speak a sort of English in Oz.
I always try and get some hours wherever I am, not a stude though. The reason I fly is to fly so I just do it. I have logged time in France, Germany, Australia, Bulgaria, Romania. Latvia and Poland. It isn't always easy to get up but if someone is flying you can usually get a go if you try I have had a ball.
