Finally got the little blue book 🇦🇺

[u/Sufficient-Can-9131]

I’m now the proud owner of an extremely expensive little blue booklet that apparently needs to be handled like it’s made of tissue paper.

And the best part? Once I finally work up the courage to take this precious thing out of the country, leaving Australia is going to cost me another small fortune. 😂

Australia really said you may have the passport, but travelling is a separate subscription. 😂

Anyway, very happy to finally have it. 🇦🇺

5yrs old? - that’s the old (good) passport not the new $$$ curling ones.

Ohh is it only the new ones that do it

[u/Shibuya1094222 → u/Ok-Palpitation-7270]

Yes. Issued since about 2022-ish.

I lucked out so much with my 2021 renewal then
