Hi all, Hoping someone can help me. I have been a PR residing in Australia for the last 11 years, but only having residency for the last 6 years. In previous trips back to the UK I have not had to worry about a RRV as I was covered for unlimited travel under my original visa. So when my grandmother suddenly died, I didn't give a second thought to booking my flight over to stay for three weeks to attend the funeral. It was only when I reached heathrow to come home that they informed me that I wouldn't be allowed back in Australia as my unlimited travel ran out in May! I ended up getting a 3 month E-visa at the airport and travelled no worries and had no problems entering Australia. I now assume that as I am back in australia that there will be no further issues? I can't find any information on the net about this situation, but as I will be applying for citizenship soon I want to make sure that there is nothing I should be doing to ensure that the two visas I currently hold will not cause any issues. Can anyone give any advice? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Christina

Hi everyone! My Girl loves her stuffed toys. Now I have read that is not allowed to bring stuffed toys to Australia because they could be stuffed with seeds or sands and can carry pests, weeds or diseases. The idea to let her loved toys here...!!!!!:arghh: Did somebody bring their Kids stuffed toys to Australia anyway? What your experience? Thanks for your answer!:notworthy: Sandy
