There are three different types of visa available to tourists ... which you will be as you are visiting
1. Tourist visa (subclass 676) - A temporary visa generally granted for a stay of 3 months or 6 months. In certain circumstances a stay of 12 months may be granted.
2. Sponsored Family Visa (subclass 679) - For people seeking to visit family in Australia. Formal sponsorship by an Australian citizen or permanent resident is required.
3. Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) - An electronically stored authority for short-term visits to Australia of up to 3 months. Available to passport holders from 32 countries and regions. Applications must be made from outside Australia.

B. Offices of the department of immigration and
multicultural and indigenous affairs in australia.
2. Prior to arrival: electronic travel authority (eta) for
tourist or business travel, instead of a visa. There is
no physical evidence of an eta in the passport. Existence
of an eta is verified electronically by eta participating
airlines prior to boarding and by immigration officials
on arrival in australia.
most travel agents issue eta. Eligible clients can also
apply for an eta over the internet. There are 3 eta
types: visitor/tourist eta "v"; long validity business
eta "bl" (issued against a fee); short validity (977)
business eta "bs".
eta may be issued to:

etas are obtained via:

australia are eta capable;
- the internet at: www.eta.immi.gov.au
warning: make sure the air carrier is eta capable and can
verify the eta for boarding ("screen prints" of an eta
are not acceptable).

No u can't stay in Australia. I think u like tourism in Australia. I stay in Australia 1 half years with visa. Dude no visa no stay in Australia.

Mrs D

you can only stay here if you are a resident or a citizen. you cannot stay if your visa runs out. as far as i am aware, you have to apply for another one, but you might have to leave the country (even just go to NZ) while its processed. do the right thing by the country & follow the rules & the country will do right by you. best of luck to you :o)
