from what i remember the agent tellling us is that when you go through customs and get your passport stamped that automaticly validates your visa but the key person must go first, I think that is right but just double check with a agent or phone the visa office.

What happens if you haven't got a visa to stamp?
My visa grant will just be an email from my CO - apparently it will be on a computer when I get there.

Sorry I couldn't talk to Christine about accountancy as we had to rush off.
Hopefully we'll be able to meet up at the next meet?

We were really excited at immigration in Melbourne and couldn't wait to dash off to look at our stamps in our passports (disappointingly they don't stamp the actual visa - just a random page in your passport).
Lady on immigration looked at us as if we were mad - especially when we took a photo of us clutching our passports!!
