    I think it's one-way is at that price. Return looks to be 1150 pp.

    I had bank statements printed as I was also planning on staying for more than a year. I didn't get asked at all but I think it's a good idea to have them - just in case.

    As for cheap flights. I've heard Etihad is the cheapest way to get to Aus. I remember when I looked up flights it was cheap but as I was flying to NZ they didn't work out too cheap for me in the end.

    nah they dont really expect you to have a return, no one that goes over for a year does really
