How do i go about getting a new passport? Do i send my old one off to the British Embassy or what? Is there somewhere in Sydney i can do it or do i have to send to Canberra? Can i download an application form or what? Advice appreciated. Cheers.

Now that's service for you! (The information, not the passport!)

So $237 paid to the British Consulate and $15 to a courier. Is that right?

Does that cover a courier to take the passport there or do i pay for that seperate? Sorry for all the questions. But need to sort this out soon. As i got to go to NZ at the start of the year.
