Check out the ABA page at http://www.basejump.org/

Everything you wanted to know about Aussie BASE, what's going on, how to get started etc. There's courses run in the US that might mean you could bypass the skydiving thing (save a few $$$ initially I guess), but a lot of skills are transferable between the two and skydiving's real good fun anyway (less intense, but heaps more playtime).

Just a point for general interest, BASE itself isn't illegal in Aust, just access to a lot of the sites are and the authorities may try bust you for tresspassing, public endangerment or something like that. There's a good little discussion running on the ABA forum and it lists a bunch of legally organised jumps in Aust and over seas. You learn something every day = )
