FYI With regards to anyone travelling to Aus for a holiday whilst their visa is processing, I emailed my CO on the general email address to let them know I was going to visit Benn for 2 weeks. I then applied for a tourist visa a week or so before I flew to Aus in August, It got approved straight away, and there were no issues entering or leaving Australia. I didn't ever get a response from the CO, but at least they had an idea. I know it's not the same for everyone, but I don't think it's worth stressing about too much!

Same here!

Hi, check a few pages back, Aussie Girl has kept it up! Page 1234

Again, this is video piracy and is illegal.

Ripping them to a HD and then selling the originals is called video piracy, and is illegal. So yeah, don't do that.

Ugh I wish mine was to be granted this month :cry: I'm having one of those days where I have just had enough and I am missing Benn ridiculously.

I'm moving to Aus next year and spoke with the Student Loan Co on the phone to ask what the deal would be. It's pretty much exactly the same. I will have to inform them as soon as I get there, fill out a financial statement and once earning over a certain amount, a sum will be deducted from my wages. I hate debt and there is no way I want that building up for the rest of my life. The sooner it's gone the better!

I LOVE this!!!! Congrats Gbamber - hoping I can do the same to Benn when ours comes through!

That should read BUG zapper but hey you could get a big zapper too I guess haha!

Hi all, Benn here (GooseRenders OH). Zack, as someone born and raised here in WA I find your statement to be a huge overreaction! I'd say they are nothing more than an annoying pest. Yes there is a chance of contracting Ross River Virus but honestly unless you are up North your chances are pretty slim. Especially if you whack on a bit of repellent. It's not like we are in Africa and need to worry about Malaria!! A lot of areas do aerial spraying which keeps them in check really well. It's only really when the weather warms up that you need to be mindful. You see almost none during the cooler months. Honestly if you are sensible and wear some repellent, light a mozzie coil or stick (or two or three) or have a big zapper hanging up you really have nothing to worry about. In any case a mozzie bite or two is par for the course. I do know however that those of you born in good old Blighty do seem to be very attractive to mosquitoes and your poor delicate English skin does seem to react quote impressively to a decent mozzie bite. As for me if I get bitten unless I really scratch it they tend to go away within 24 hours or so and more often than not I don't even notice them. I guess that's what years of good breeding from our convict past to today has created!!

10-14 months. Based on this, we planned out wedding for next November, as the earliest I'll be getting to Aus is April next year (applied 11th June 2015)
-
Awesome, I'll keep that in mind for when I get out there! thanks!

Mozzies love me. I get bitten every time I go to visit Benn without a doubt. The bites can get as big as a grapefruit and often (once calmed) hang around for weeks afterwards. I am moving to Bunbury so can't wait to be eaten to death. I use insect repellent spray, can't remember what brand, and my fiancée always makes sure to have a citronella coil hanging around if outside. I didn't get bitten after that. Defo didn't see or hear them anywhere in the house either, we just made sure the flight screens were closed and that seemed to do the trick.

I can't believe 3 months have gone already, but then I look back and it has draaaaaaagged. Still, I'd much rather be here than having just applied! We are getting there people!!
-
Can't say anything about this just yet, but I'm here to keep an eye on the thread as next year i'll be applying for the 820 too!
-
To summer as well! My fiancée is in Aus so makes it even harder to wait! Just got back on Thursday from visiting him for two weeks and I'm desperate to get back. Hopefully only 7 months to go!!! :arghh:
-
Fingers are crossed for you!!

'Enjoy' the journey...I love that! If only!!!

I think I'll just get to December and contact them again re the medical. I phoned immi before I applied and they said it would be fine to do Medicals before, finding that to not be the case! Will see how I go -

MaryMar, did you have to redo your medicals seeing as you had them done in the earlier stages? I ask because I had mine done early on and have had a letter to say to do them in 6 months but i'll still have 6 months left on my previous medical...
