We had a lovely experience at the Sydney Consulate today. While the guards at security don't crack too many smiles, as long as you follow the rules (no bags or backpacks, no electronics, wallets and paperwork only) they were pleasant. Both the paperwork checker and the interviewer were pleasant and smiling.
As everyone else has said "GO TO THE BATHROOM BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH SECURITY!" We were not upstairs for as long as I thought (one hour), but I could tell it could have been much longer.
Also - if your medical report was put on a DVD or CD - make sure you tell the guards what it is. They stopped someone from bringing a CD upstairs today (thinking it was pictures, I guess), and he had to go back downstairs and get it (from the 51st floor to the 10th floor).
As one of the first same-sex married couples to come through the Consulate, we were not quite sure of the kind of reception we'd get - but there was nothing to worry about. We were organized, and they didn't even want to see our wedding pictures!!!!
