The astronomy.com and NASA websites are very good starting points.  The NASA website also has a kids section which is very useful for students.

Learn as much as you can, get the best optics you can afford (telescope, or just a plain old pair of binoculars will do)..... and practise observing every chance you get.\n\nThe Moon, Jupiter + Orion are good objects to practise on (when visible).\n\nSTARRY NIGHT is a great piece of software to learn about the Sky http://www.starrynight.com and figure out where everything's supposed to be before you go out observing.\n\nA copy of "Kingfisher Pocket Guides: Astronomy" (ISBN 0-7534-0743-4) is great to help you learn about what's in the sky in more detail - It may be small, but there's more information in there than you'd believe possible for a book that size.\nWhile "Collins Gem: STARS" (ISBN 0-00-717858-1) is great for teaching you about the Stars & Constellations in more detail (despite also being small).\n\nAlso, read ASTRONOMY NOW, ASTRONOMY + SKY&TELESCOPE magazines every month to find out about upcoming events & new discoveries.\n\nAbove all, learn to walk before you can run (in other words learn the basics before you try any of the more advanced stuff so you can tell the difference between a new discovery and something that's already been discovered ages ago).

I would recommend you start some correspondence with the Geology department at the University of Otago, see: http://www.otago.ac.nz/geology/.\n\nThat would be the most relevant school for the Queenstown area.\n\n\nThanks for the vote of approval Kel, let me also add that you could contact the Geological Society of New Zealand, some contact info for the Otago branch:\n\nNick Mortimer, GNS, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin\n\nsee the "Contacts" link at http://www.gsnz.org.nz/ for an email address for Nick. And you can also see details for other offices around the country.

The National Home Study College at www.homestudynet.com offers a Higher Diploma in European archaeology.  It's based in the UK though - you'll have to check to see if they accept overseas students.
