Afghanistan
I obtained my visa for Afghanistan in Khorog (Tajikistan, the Pamir Highway) in 2016, it cost $80 USD (paid in cash) for a single entry tourist visa and was processed in 4 hours.
In order to obtain the visa here you don’t need any invitation letter from a tourist agency or a document from the Australian embassy granting you permission to visit Afghanistan (a document that is extremely hard to obtain) and you must write a letter of intent (the reason why you want to visit Afghanistan) the consul in Khorog are extremely friendly.
Albania
No visa is needed for Australians wishing to visit Albania as it is part of the EU/Schengen, 90 days within a 180 day period to visit visa free.
Australia
As an Australian citizen you do not need a visa (obviously) to visit Australia.
