Go back to France.
Not permanently just for a week or so.
Visit family and old friends.

Poor Darling.... Where did you live before... What's so eating away at his home feeling for Australia... The fugitives in prison camps, might be the thing.... Don't worry my country as cruel as Hell too. Maibe your son needs to seek asylum somewhere... He's in any case old enough to determine what he doesn't want, even though he has no words for what he wants yet.... He fears the future as it sits on us rather then enfold.... But 6 years is a long time not feeling at home somewhere. Reincarnated Alien Nation perhaps might also be part of his dilemma. Talk to him before more unhappiness makes you feel down.

He may need some connection to remind him of home, some friends from the same country, so they can get together and he wont feel so out of place. Encourage him to get into social activities whether at school or in community sports centres and so on, if he can make good local friends he would see things differently. Also just make it clear to him that someday he will be able to go back when he's old enough and qualified to be able to support himself so it could just be looked at as an extended overseas trip.

sounds like perhaps you should look at counseling....I am not a big advocate of it but a child of nine should have no problem integrating themselves into any environment. He may have had issues had he stayed in his native country too. If he won't talk to you about what his problem really is perhaps he will to another person.
You can always let him know that when he turns 18 he can move back home and stay with extended family if that is an option your family would be open to.

You son must be having school problems
find out if he is being bullied at school or something worse
because he was only a young child when he came here so I say something has to be going on .
also do you rave on about being homesick your self because if he has only heard that for years that could be a reason as well.
Go to the school & find out as soon as possible!!

Teach him about Australia - take him to historical places - show him that Australia has a different history but is just as valid as America.
Also I agree with the guy above - more socialisation is good.

Let him experience home again... he will realize it isn't what it used to be... maybe he will even miss Australia. I used to miss my country a lot... in fact it took me longer than six years, but no body knew... so clearly I wasn't what you would call depressed. Depression needs treatment. He might need professional help.

Talk to him nicely and ask what is the thing he likes to do now. It does not have to be education. Let him involved any thing he likes first before getting him to do what is best at the moment

Move downtown. He needs to socialize.
