I agree that Australia is a better option (I even briefly considered it). The biggest point in their favor is that the Australian Universities are part of the same university systems that train Australian doctors. The downside is that you are still applying to residency as an IMG. With more MD/DO grads every year, it's only going to get harder to go the international route. There is no way around that. If you want to practice in the US you are better off taking a year or two to get into a DO school.
$$$$ - International tuition rates subsidize Australian students
That is probably because the Australian schools are mostly training Australian doctors. The UQ ochsner match statistics are easy to find and are pretty good. (95% matched)
