MySQL Group by field based on the maximum value of another field in GROUP (not in the table)

Consider the following table:


un_id   avl_id  avl_date    avl_status
1738    6377398 2011-03-10  unavailable 
1738    6377399 2011-03-11  unavailable 
1738    6377400 2011-03-12  unavailable 
1738    6719067 2011-03-12  unavailable
1738    6719351 2011-03-12  available
1738    6377401 2011-03-13  unavailable 
1738    6377402 2011-03-14  unavailable 
1738    6377403 2011-03-15  unavailable 
1738    6377404 2011-03-16  available
1738    6719068 2011-03-16  unavailable 
1738    6719352 2011-03-16  available

What comes from the following query:


SELECT 
    tbl_unit.un_id,
    tbl_availability.avl_id,
    tbl_availability.avl_date, 
    tbl_availability.avl_status
FROM
    tbl_unit
INNER JOIN 
    tbl_availability ON 
    tbl_unit.un_id = tbl_availability.un_id
WHERE
    tbl_availability.avl_active='True' AND
    tbl_unit.un_active='True' AND
    tbl_availability.avl_date >= '2011-03-10' AND
    tbl_availability.avl_date

What I want is to GROUP BY un_id so that only the avl_status having the highest avl_id is displayed. ie:

un_id avl_id avl_date avl_status
1738 6377398 2011-03-10 unavailable 
1738 6377399 2011-03-11 unavailable 
1738 6719351 2011-03-12 available
1738 6377401 2011-03-13 booked 
1738 6377402 2011-03-14 booked 
1738 6377403 2011-03-15 booked 
1738 6719352 2011-03-16 available

I tried adding GROUP BY and HAVING clauses and various subqueries, but I failed every time ....

All help is appreciated! :) - Adam.
