I actually have an acceptable passport photo. Hooray! It only took 5 goes. So who took the rejected photos? First 3 tries were Flight Center, then an Australian Post Office (they actually took the photos then rejected them), and the we finally got them done at the chemist below the Toowong post office. They said to take them up to the post office and come back until they got them accepted. So yay. Apparently it'll only take 2 weeks or so to get my passport so that will be good.
I'm practically there already.
