Bond,
Flight training is considerably more expensive in the UK. There is another thread on pprune stating that a "cheap" modular school cost a guy 48k pounds and that was in 2010.
You should be able to get a CPL-ME- IR in Oz for less than 65k easily. That's 36k pounds right now. That's if you don't go to one of the rip off uni affiliated flight schools in the major cities around Oz. Regional flying schools are much better and usually have some contacts for finding you a job. The big uni schools in Oz are similar to the CTC and OAA of the UK. Over priced and not interested in you once they have your money.
