Aussie Post are pretty good at it too. I remember years ago my grandmother in Holland sent us some mail addressed

Schultink
West Australie

and Australia Post delivered it correctly to our address in Harvey WA. Which is pretty impressive.

reminds me of when we did my wife's visa for aussie. the deal was that i was to take over the hobart office so her paperwork was done accordingly.

the aussie embassy rings up to check on things with there std trick questions.

Q so where in australia will you be living?
A not in australia we will be living in Tasmania

Embassy: then why did you apply for a visa at the australian embassy? you will need to apply at the tasmanian embassy

because tasmania is an island beside australia

OH well that would be the new zealand embassy

No its the australian embassy

please hold while i check.

30 seconds latter

your visa will be ready in the morning.

[clean32]

geez I hope he wipes it first:D

I got a quote from them last week for some flares and they quoted me 14GBP to Tanzania.....stupid me corrected them and said that I wasnt in Tanzania but Tasmania and the freight cost jumped to 90 quid....I should have kept my mouth shut except I was worried my flares might have ended up on the side of a mud hut :eek:

oh dear :(
