Thanks again to all those that helped me through my Ozzie Visa application panic.
After an hour of deleting videos and photos off my phone I was able to just clear enough storage space to download the App
It was a learning curve for sure and IMO basically unnecessary work.It wasn't that difficult a process.Done within 15 to 20 minutes
Who knew there was an electronic chip in the back page of my passport? Life changing lol

A previous poster mentioned no receipt for your payment though I guess one could follow their credit card paper or electronic trail if need be
I do not remember it asking me for my Covid vaccine proof
Has anyone else had to do any of that? I'm about to get my 5th dose so if approved by the time I enter Australia I should glow in the dark
Waiting for approval!!! Am I worthy?
Here's to toasting again in Bondi Beach if the almighty powers gives this traveler the green light
Hopefully I too will know in less than 24 hours and be flying on the A380 Flying Kangaroo in the days ahead

Many Cheers All
& Again thanks for all your support
