You can get up to a one year visa on first long stay, You would be as well to get a book on Visa s they have them in wh smiths i think, tells you all rules etc or check on computer via google.

This is what the Foreign & Commonwealth Office say on their web site:

 

"Visas are required for all travel to Australia.  However, British nationals can obtain Electronic Travel Authorities (ETAs) from their local travel agent, which will allow travel for up to three months as a visitor.  For further information on entry requirements, you are advised to check with the Australian representation in the UK.

For those intending onward travel to other countries in the region you are advised that entry into some countries may be refused, and airlines may not carry you, if your passport has less than six months validity. For further information on entry requirements you are advised to check with the Embassy or High Commission in London of the country you intend to visit.

Travellers coming from Australia to the UK via Osaka, Japan must pay airport tax of 2,650 Yen (approx �20.00) in order to board the Osaka-London flight.

British nationals who visit Thailand en route to or on return from Australia, are advised to check the separate travel advice for Thailand."
