Yes, you can. You'll need a step-down power converter as you already know (240v down to 110v) similiar to the one listed on the Amazon link below. Most modern TVs will playback NTSC signals (those newer than 15 years will, check if your TV is older). If it's an HDTV then there will be no problems. You'll need a TV to display 60Hz signals (all these will also playback NTSC) as many games (like Halo 3 etc.) require a 60Hz compatible TV to display the games properly. Your games will have to be purchased from the U.S. or imported over as your U.S. console will only play U.S. NTSC games. PAL (used in Australia, new Zealand and Europe) will not work (neither will Jap NTSC). Worse case, you will always be able to play on a VGA computer monitor if you buy the Xbox 360 VGA cable. This is regardless of TV standards. Xbox Live is available in Australia, your account will detect where you are playing from via your ISP's connection and not where your Xbox 360 originated from (for Marketplace purchases etc., Microsoft use geographic segregation so the Marketplace offers different content in different languages at different Microsoft Point prices depending on where you are accessing from. All you require is a good broadband connection, preferably with at least 256mb/s upload speed - higher would be better (we're talking upload, not download speed here) as Australia is further away than most Xbox Live players (mostly in the U.S.) and there will be more lag if your connection is slow. I know I had intermittent problems with 256mb/s upload in Sydney.

As long as you have access to high-speed internet such as Cable, DSL, or broadband (not sure what they're called in AU) I would think it would work...You could also call microsoft or go to the xbox website www.xbox360.com.

If you buy a U.S. market XBOX, you may end up having to buy all your games from the U.S. as well. I know DVD players have the region codes. You cannot play a region 2 disc on a region 1 player. If I'm not mistaken, you will have the same issues with games. I am not at home so I can't look to see if my games have a region code on them, but it seems logical that if they do it for movies, games will be the same.

Yes, you can. First you have to use a step down converter (240-110V), You can even play on xbox Live but the problem is, you can only the games bought from America(NTSC), If you play games bought from Australia(PAL) It doesnt Work.

I'm not sure exactly but if I were you I'd definately look into doing an International Baccalaureate (IB). If you live in one of the major cities they'll be schools that offer it but I'm not sure about regional towns. I live in Canberra and the school I go to offers it. It's a bit harder then normal schooling and you have to do extra tests but you can apply for any University in the world which accepts IB. Also look into scholarships. Ask your career advisor. They can always get information for you. Good luck! =]

You can try. International student can apply-each application to a school will run you about $75.00. And Ivy league schools are going to run over $44,000 per year for tuition. room and board and books To study law you first have to get your four year Bachelor degree, then take the LSAT exam, then apply to Law schools, where you will be for another 3 years. Ivy league schools take in a small percentage of international students. And their acceptance rate is extremely low. Harvard's dropped to 7% last year. Yale have over 20,000 applications and accepted less than 2000 students. Understand what you are up against. To see requirements and how to apply just go on any college web site.

In the USA, a bachelor's degree (four years of university after secondary school) is required for entry into law school (three years). University education in the USA is very expensive, especially for international students. May I suggest that you first aim for Monash University or another good university in Australia and earn the equivalent of an American bachelor's degree. Harvard Law School accepts fewer than one in eight of its applicants. When you are at university in Australia, it will be time to look into the current requirements for application to Harvard Law School. You will also need to consider whether an American law degree will enable you to practice law in Australia and/or how you will obtain a work visa to practice law in America.

Absolutely impossible. Nobody would be allowed to bring a big creature like that into Australia. I'd be surprised if you could even see one in a zoo. EDIT: I see that most species are endangered. That makes it even less likely.

Well I have no clue what that is but it depends where you live like I live in Kentucky, USA and I have a pet ferret because its legal here and I dont need a license, but in some other states its not legal or you have to have a license.
