with DFAT. Yes it maybe like a big brother thing but I would much rather the Aust Gov know my whereabouts if any trouble arises. It also gives your family and friends a bit of peace of mind. Friends went to Sri Lanka last year and they were emailed everyday advising of troubles and to be aware. I would not leave the country without using this service, but it is also a personal choice.
