Had to visit the Aussie High Commision for a passport interview and let me tell you, security to get into the Passport Office, which is off to the side and has its own separate entrance, is massively fierce - try to leave anything unnecessary at home or even better, don't bring any bags with you if possible!
Once thru the guard gauntlet, you are buzzed you into the waiting room, which has drinking water available but no loos. The staff were super efficient and we were done in 20 mins, since had an appointment (which I also highly highly recommend making via the Dept's website).
The building itself is majestic and gorgeous, so walk around the front and check out all the lovely Aussie symbols!
