  Hi Dyl, Nauru's a really tiny country that doesn't get many tourists, and their government webpage explains exactly what you need to do. Are you just going for the sights?

  @EmmaL thanks so much for the great suggestion. To be honest, I'm really keen to just chill on the beach. Are there any sights that you would recommend?

  As you are an Australian citizen you will be granted a simplified visa, Criminal record and medical fitness certificates are not required for Australian citizens.
  You can contact the Nauru Consulate General, Level 3, 99 Creek Street, Brisbane, QLD 4000, Tel: +61 7 3220 3044, email: nauru.consulate@brisbane.gov.nr

  To be honest, that makes zero sense. Have you research the country at all? Do some basic Googling, you'll be blown away.

  Yeah, it's pretty famous for being a total $hithole now. This article explains it even better:

  I'm kind of amazed an Australian wouldn't already know this...
  
  Cheers,

  @Alethia @CheersTerry thanks for the information! I had no idea about Nauru as I'm don't keep up with much politics. I think I might have to change my plans now! Are there any other islands that you would recommend?

  @DylBrunds - perhaps you were thinking of Vanautu? Very popular destination for Aussies - great beaches, good weather and great bars.
