The University of Sydney has activities of interest to young scientists: competitions, activities and ideas for cooperation between schools and universities. http://www.schools.ash.org.au/schools/spacesite/spacesite.html

A useful site for teachers and students that contains quality information on a variety of science related topics. http://crnet.com.au
