I've studied at Murdoch University since 1995 and would generally
recommend its CS programme.  It's generally a good balance between
theory and practice and I've heard from various people in industry that
this is one reason why some ask specifically for Murdoch graduates.
Murdoch's biggest advantage though is probably the flexibility it gives
you to combine different units and programmes so it gives you the
opportunity to customise the material that you learn.  The general
atmosphere at Murdoch also tends to be more friendly and open than my
experiences (and from things I've heard from others) than some of the
other unis.

Of course, everyone is probably going to just praise their own uni so I
don't know how much you can trust any of the answers you get to this
question. :)
