"we would have to live together for 6 months just before we get married"
Not for the purpose of Australian immigration purposes you don't.
I have married my Thai GF in Thailand so that we can be together in Aus (Offshore Partner Visa), we have not lived together other than when she was here on a 3 month tourist visa.
Take your original Birth cert, certified copies, Any divorce certificate, any name change cert etc etc. I do not know how you satisfy the authorities there though. Im Thailand it involves trips to the Aus embassy, Thai Foreign affairs etc etc.
Good Luck.
