Ah it came through pretty quickly then! I've not really looked around with flights. I'm more than likely going with Emirates as they give 30kg weight allowance (I don't travel light) and my best friend who is from Perth will be going home at the same time I go so we will travel together! I'm lucky enough to be able to stay with her family and use their home as a base to keep whatever stuff I won't be travelling all around Oz with! Thanks for your well wishes! xx

Ah I cannot tell you how excited I am to hear this!! Think I will get my visa applied for ASAP and get my flights booked as soon as (well IF) it is approved! Thanks xx

Hi there, I just wondered if anybody out there can clear a few things up for me? I am planning on going to Aus May/June 2013 on a WHV. I have around £1200 saved so far and have been looking at flights and there are some good deals at the moment & would like to book soon. Thing is, I have been advised not to book my flight until I have been accepted for my visa. Am I right to say that at the time of applying my visa I need to provide proof of funds to travel Australia? Or do you just need to have a copy of a bank statement at the time of travelling just in case immigration request proof of funds? I'm hoping it's the latter so I can apply for my visa, book my flights and save like crazy until next year! Thanks in advance! Charlie xx
