Ugh, all worked out in the end, but this was not smooth.
What was the
"filling out all the form on the AU Immi website" and/or
"other system still operational and accepts applications"?
Was that an
gov au site or one of the many scam web sites?
Manual processing may happen during normal working hours. But someone is always on duty for more immediate requests.

As well as the ETA 601 visa are other visas types for tourists. Some are passport dependant.
