Posting passports to Aussie house
Posted our 5 passports special delivery last Thursday to Aussie House. I also included a special delivery return envelope. It cost £8 to send them off.
Got them back yesterday with the visas included. I wasn't expecting it to be that quick!
The visa is a bit of a let down appearence wise. Basically just a fancy sticky label with your name and date of entry on it. I was expecting a proper ink stamped thing!! It does include the crest with the Kanga and that bird on it. What is that large flightless bird called - Carraway??
Anyway if you are worried about posting your passports don't be, it is quick and easy to do.

We are going on holiday next month but posted our passports off (special delivery) last week. They arrived back one week later safe and sound.
I have to say though that I was a bit nervous about posting them off before our hols incase there was a delay.

Hi Tina
I think the bird your talking about is called a Cassowary.
Not sure if that's how u spell it or not I'm not that clever - I only know the answer cos me and my boyfriend were very lucky enough to see one with young in the rainforest at Mission Beach !! It was a rare sight that I will always remember!
I'm not a one of those birdwatcher people or anything (Not that there's anything wrong with birdwatchers !!) but when you're in Australia you tend to appreciate the nature more
Well done on getting your visa in your passport - It's a weird feeling isn't it !!
We have ours and are hoping to head to Perth as soon as our house sells.
Anybody out there wanna buy a house
