I got one earlier this year, this is what I did.
2 completed application forms downloaded from internet (Melbourne embassy form only not Canberra)
2 passport photos
Bank cheque made out "Embassy of Indonesia" for A$60-00
Passport (valid for at least 12 months from date of travel with enough blank pages)
Copy of Itinerary and evidence of return ticket
Bank statement showing you have funds to cover your stay
A letter from your employer stating you have a permanent job to return.
Include self-addressed "Registered envelope" for them to send your completed passport back.
I sent mine in and it took just about 10 days, I do agree with you they are hard to understand and they are closed over lunch.
Alternatively you can lodge at St. Kilda road between hours they say and then return the next week to collect.
Good luck.
