NitroX,

I'm going to be reading this post for the next several days...that is a lot of information.

Thank you,

Richard.

Edit...

There has to be some way of entering through Darwin, but unless QANTAS has added more flights, flights from the USA to Australia land in Brisbane, Sydney, or Melbourne. QANTAS' departure points in the USA are Honolulu and Los Angeles. If you get a ticket from American Airlines, Air Canada, BA, or Lufthansa, you'll be on a QANTAS flight.

I think the only other airline actually flying USA to Australia is United Airlines with a Honolulu to Sydney route.

The idea of entering with a firearm through Melbourne is scary...if Victoria police object to a pocketknife I dread what they'd think of a gun.
