    Well they wont like ya asking about the passport thing here! but afaik that was a loop hole that they tightened up on, I think there was a load of people from northern Ireland who were doing that and then they got wise to it.

    Your best bet might be to start contacting companies over there to see if they'd be intrested in sponsering you. Or start the ball rolling on a skill visa, I had a mate who got one and tbh it was a hell of a process think it took the best part of a year, and you have to get your trade recognised by them which seems to be a bit of a minefield.
    Dont know all the ins and outs of it, but have a look on the immigration website
    www.immi.gov.au

    Did you work as a joiner when you were in Oz? If so contact your old bosses and if they remember you try and get them to sponsor.

    MOD Zero talk of illegal ways to enter Australia, thanks.

    Officially you can only have 1 WHV per person

    Recently watching an episode of Boarder Control where there was an Irish guy, just arrived in Sydney with a friend and his brother on a one year working holiday visa. It transpired that he had previously been to Australia on a similar visa, but different passport, anyway, he was questioned by customs officers and promptly put on the next plane home.

    Its now a closed route

    I also know someone who did it back in '05 when it was a loophole, it now illegal so thats all I am saying.
