Also, I have seen the link to a "cousin" in Australia, 4th–6th Cousin
Shared DNA: 64 cM across 6 segments, we've been in contact for some time, but, I can't see a link to another cousin in Australia who share's the same common ancestor with both of us. She has also done her DNA and should come up the same as above.
Day 1 and I'm totally confused
Yes, Thrulines need to be checked thoroughly as they could be right or wrong.

The ISOGG Wiki has a table of the chances of shared DNA showing up on the different sites for various degrees of cousinship:

So if the other cousin is more distantly related to you than second cousin, it is quite possible that she doesn't share DNA with you.
