Thanks again.
So far, UNE are they only place I've found where I can study by distance Ed. And get block labs 1 week a semester.

But the don't offer the subjects (astronomy and astrophysics) that I want. Swinburne do, in a postgraduate program, but the cost doubles.

More thinking to be done.
I think I'm really in love with the program at Monash *sigh* I wish I could make it work.
