I'm reasonably confident in getting her here for 3 months over winter (won't she love that!) but after that we are looking at some sort of 'partner visa'.
So if any Aussies are out there with some experience with getting Thai girls into Oz on anything other than a tourist visa PLEASE let me know!!!

Well if she's already been out to Oz once already on a tourist VISA then the hardest part has already been done - proving your relationship to the embassy.
Your experience sounds similar to mine. 2 x 3 month tourist visa's for the GF (one winter, one summer) - the second one pretty much a formality. As for a partner visa - you will be looking at either a fiancee (going to marry) or spouse (married already) application. We got married and did the spouse visa. Just a few more documents, medicals and interviews etc. There are some good threads on this board already about this and of course there is the thaivisa forum which is the motherload. Good luck!
