The Australians will also require you to manually send a position report at each FIR boundary, including the 'internal' one between Brisbane and Melbourne.

They are like my wife if you don't send it within one nanosecond of processing the FIR waypoint; that 'request position report' message comes up in a flash! (usually 'crossing' with the one you've just sent'...)

Sorry. You've just got me started on anal Australian ATC...
