visa for vietnam
 

I ask this for a friend who is on a bycicle tour around the world, he is in Australia now and want to go to vietnam in 5 weeks. can he get a visa when he get in Vietnam on the airport? or do he have to contact the embassy of Vietnam in Australia before he leaves Australia? And where is the Vietnamese wmbassy in Australia. Thanks.

Probably do need a visa.
You should contact the embassy, rather than asking on the HUBB. Visa requirmetns differ depending on nationality.
If you searched by Google you cold have found the Vietnam Embassy in Australia website in a few seconds.
