I went to the US for the first time and was detained for 2 hours because I didnt have a phone number for where I was going. The Homeland security guy looks over my brand-new never-been-used-before passport and asks me "do you often travel overseas without a contact number?"......

eerrrrr...

Don't know about Australia, but in Canada we are required to get a new passport every 5 years, they don't renew the old ones. So having a new passport is no indication that you have never travelled overseas.
