it all depends on the criminal convictions? since you were not specific?

Australia has very odd visa restrictions and probably won't issue you one.

The funny thing is, New Zealand was glad we were coming and welcomed us with open arms.

There are citizens of certain countries that does not require a visa to stay in Australia. Verify on the Australian Embassy in your country if you are exempted.

Depends what you've been done for. You might not be allowed in( F****** stupid for a country that prides itself on it's convict past!!) You would be better off contacting the aussie embassy where you live & find out. If you do come down here, Come to the East side of the countryQld, NSW & Vic, more fun better beers, etc
