How to Get an Australian Visitor Visa (subclass 600) for Filipinos
Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist Stream: document checklist
Visa application requirements differ from country to country. If you are outside Australia, your nearest immigration office outside Australia will tell you exactly how to lodge your application and what documents to provide.
You need to provide documents to support your application for this visa. We can make a decision using the information you provide when you lodge your application. It is in your interest to provide as much information as possible with your application.
Provide certified copies of original documents. Do not include original documents unless we specifically ask for them. Police certificates should be original documents. Documents not in English must be accompanied by accredited English translations.
Use this checklist to make sure your application is complete.

Jakarta to Bali in 10 Day Itinerary 2015
Hey readers! How are
you? It's been a while, I'm not posting on my blog.. I was very busy and wasn't
able to travel much.. My hectic schedule and other important matters had
shunned me away from writing and travelling.
What you really need to get there?
Money! Ha-ha... I have at
least $300 with me exchanged at a private money changer at NAIA 3 airport.. Beware!
Don't get so pretty excited by having your money exchanged at the money changer,
which is located between the check-in counters and the immigration checkpoint! They
usually blow the exchanged rates! So as a tip, there is Landbank satellite
branch on the first floor, get your money there.. So you won't feel
scammed by the private money changers! Your PHP 10,000 could give you almost
IDR 3M... with the private money changers you could get as much as IDR 2.7M.. That's
around PHP 1000 more or less. Anyway, better use your ATM Credit/Debit cards.. Much
better real time exchange rates, trust me.
Luckily, I'm back on the
road again. So, you wanna go to Indonesia for 10 days? I'm gonna sum it up
to my best ability. Hope it could provide information as well as help you on
your journey.
Enough said, below is a
map that shows my route all over Java and Bali for 10 days!

Eid-Al-Fitr marks the
end of Ramadan last July 17, 2015. I'm lucky enough to celebrate with the
locals. Although it was unfortunate that we weren't able to ride on my dream
midnight train from Jakarta, the overnight bus rides were definitely a whole
new experienced.

The capital of
Indonesia, google has told me about lots of things to do in the City, whilst I
was able to book at the city center - a walking distance to most of the
sites, I still wasn't able to penetrate all the tourist spots being featured on other
blogs. Things got rough for me on day 1 and day 2. My bookings online didn't go
as smooth as I thought. I spent a day looking for the travel and tours office
and failed (went to Podomoro City). I also went to Pasar Senen Station trying to find my train - I
failed (fully booked due to Eid-Al-Fitr). The site seeing has gone so expensive by using taxi and bemo (local motorized cab) - we should have opt for a motorbike which we haven't thought until we're on Yogyakarta.
Finally, the manager of the hostel told us that we should head directly to Jakarta Bus Terminal at Grogol. We took the overnight bus roughly 14 hour trip to Yogyakarta.
