Default Working Holiday Visa living abroad question about application

Hi guys

I am filling in my application form for the Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417), since I am 31 in under 2 weeks so think I should apply while I can!

Now one of the questions it asks is:
In the last 5 years, have you visited, or lived, outside BRITAIN for more than 3 consecutive months (other than Australia)?

But when you go to fill in the details it says:
Visit to other countries
Give details of the visits to another country where the stay was for more than 3 consecutive months in the last 5 years (not including your usual country of residence or Australia).


Now i have travelled outside of UK for 6 months in 2008 when i was backpacking around South East Asia, but I never stayed in any country for more than a few weeks. Probably would not be an issue to put these details in but in the final step it says I "will be required to undergo a chest x-ray as part of this application."

Again, not an issue but I think it is due to the fact I listed countries I had visited (India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore)...

Should I just ommit these since I didn;t stay in any for more than 3 months, or what is involved (and cost) in the chest x-ray? Is the fact I am a smoker going to affect this in any way - I'm pretty healthy apart from that :-)

thanks for your help
