Guess it really depends. If you want a really quiet city, then Perth would be good, but it's really isolated (and boring, did I mention did?).
If you want a much "funner" city, I'd suggest going over east. Melbourne and Sydney are supposedly really nice cities. That said, Sydney's cost of living is said to be extremely high compared to other Australian cities (take that with a grain of salt because I have never been to Sydney).
Tuition, however, is much cheaper. I think international tuition comes to around 30k/yr AUD compared to 50k/yr USD (60k AUD) in the US.
For international recognition, your best bet would be, as before, UMelb and USyd. Prestige...doesn't quite compare to the top few in the US though.
I'm not QUITE sure how working visas are issued in Australia, but it'll probably be easier than getting one for the US.
Isn't the HSC and UAI the same thing? xD
