Dual citizen requiring new US passport

Hi gang! Dual citizen of almost 3 decades here. I've done everything necessary to complete the DS-11 application (more than 15 years since last passport book expired) and paid etc. Trying to book an interview appointment for travel in November and there is just nothing available in the Sydney consulate.

Does anyone have more experience as to how it works e.g. paying for expedited appointment etc? Keep checking?? Note to add: I know it's left a bit late but I traveled back to US in 2024 on the ESTA but obviously that wasn't correct and now the ESTA fails due to my dual citizenship. I realise it requires a US passport hence my panicking now.

Thanks all!

Just picked up a single piece long grain Camphor Laurel board.

Picture alongside my 15+ year end grain board I picked up for A$7 at an op shop around 8 years ago (unsure what type of wood but looks to have been mass manufactured - You can see a brand label has fallen off somewhere along the way.) They're wet as I just did a mineral oil coat but I've yet to spend over A$100 on a single board.
