What you are officially supposed to do is:

Walk up whistling Waltzing Matilda, one hand must have an open can of Fosters or XXXX you must be wearing thongs (flip flops) and a beer stained vest.

There is also a secret phrase you must utter "Flamming Gallah - which way to Ramsey Street, is Kylie still in it" to which the customs officer will look a little bemused (dont worry - they are trained to do this) you then have to say "cheers Bruce (or Sheila if it's a lady customs officer) wheres the beach?"

Finally state how hot it is and comment on how many flies there are muttering it isnt like this back in the UK.

I am afraid you just walk through customs and nobody cares.
I was expecting John Howard to come and greet me with a free BBQ and thongs to settle in to Aus, suprisingly he never turned up - no BBQ, no fun fair - very disapponting after spending all that money on a little sticker in your passport. The least customs could do is have a look at your sticker and comment how nice it is!!

But, when we get off the plane and head for passport control, how to we validate the visa?? Do we need to say something to someone at passport control? Flying into Melbourne - anyone any idea?

We are also fliying out on the 21st to Melbourne. Hope we have a good journey
