Hiya mate, I'm getting it tonight, I just wanted to clear the entry date situation up first and like you said the visas seem to be getting approved pretty quickly, so I'm in no major rush. I've completed it, I've just got to pay for it.
I'm looking to fly out mid to late August, probably to Melbourne. Currently toying with the idea of stopping over somewhere in Asia for a week or so to break the flight up a bit. What about yourself? I'll keep an eye out for that thread.
