Agreed. Often from Australia it can cost less to go further, depending on if it is a major travel route etc., in addition to any current discounts. Let's face it - to go anywhere from Australia costs a lot!
To adjust my statement: You don't have to go to the closest regional, but you do have to be able to pay for it.
Keeping that in mind, you will certainly want some good sponsorship and fundraising efforts. Aiming to subsidise travel for students will be easier than attempting complete cost coverage.
