I was in Indonesia in January 1995 trying desperately to find a boat to
Australia. I heard that in the dry season (illegal) boats may be found
for around 50,000Rp (US$25); the disadvantage is that you are dumped
somewhere off the Australian coast. A rather more practical piece of
information, which several sources repeated, is that a regular passenger
ferry between Kupang and Darwin is to be (re-)established. As for the
onward ticket scenario, I have been to Indonesia twice and never been
asked to present such a ticket and while the Australian authorities can be nasty, showing them lots of money may help, or else come prepared with an onward ticket.
