How long can I be away from Aus?
I need to enter Australia by Feb. In case I cannot make it by Feb, I intend to make a short trip to Australia to just "show I'm there". But how long can I be away before they void the PR?
Now let me go read up on what a "re-entry permit" is...

Five years from the date when your permanent visa was issued.

Australia operates a resident return visa (RRV) system, which is equivalent to what you call a re-entry permit.
