As for the visa thing - is the Centrelink interview for the Assurer straight forward or is it a barrage of questions ?
Whats the best way for me to get the bond to them
My Sister was our Assurer and as far as I recall she did not have an interview. I rememeber her having to fill in a few forms and she had to show her Tax returns as I believe that you have to have an income of above $38000 ( I might be wrong about the exact amount). As for getting the Bond out there she paid and we will repay it when we make the move.

Getting a little excited especially if Nov is the deadline

From our experience you will get a letter from your case officer which you must send to your assurer. Your insurer then has to ring Centrelink to arrange an interview and take the letter along with them along with various other things. Once they have been accepted and all the other parts of your visa application are in place Centrelink will send a letter to your assurer asking them to lodge the bond usually within 14 days! Once the bond is lodged at the Commonwealth bank your assurer will receive a letter from Centrelink saying the bond has been lodged, I think the letter also goes to your case officer. Once that is done you can expect to get your visas pretty soon. We got ours about 2 weeks after all that.
Good luck
