Matters needing attention in traveling to Australia

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world, and its land area is half that of the whole western Europe. As a country located in the southern hemisphere, the season is just the opposite of China. The following are my notes on my trip to Australia, which I hope will help you.

The best time to travel to Australia

Every year 10 to February is the best season. Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, contrary to the season in China, June 10 is the summer in Australia, and the dazzling coast in the sun is infinitely attractive. However, the itinerary should not be arranged from mid-June 165438+ to early February 65438+, because this time is a traditional school day in Australia, which is also a day for high school graduates to travel and revel. There will be many people, and accidents are easy to happen.

Australian travel dress guide:

The climate in Australia is opposite to that in China, so tourists must take clothes with them. Spring: September-165438+1October; Summer: 65438+February-February; Autumn: March-May; Winter: June-August.

Necessary items for tourism in Australia:

1. Clothing category: swimsuits, swimming trunks, short-sleeved shorts, thin coats, walking shoes, sun hats and slippers.

2. Certificate type: ID card, passport, visa.

3. Cosmetics and skin care products: towels, toiletries, combs, lip balm, sunscreen, etc.

4. Medicines: vitamins, cold medicines, diarrhea medicines, painkillers and band-AIDS.

5. Daily necessities: sunglasses, raincoats/umbrellas, water cups, multifunctional knives, chargers, dry batteries, etc.

Taboos of Australian tourism customs;

1, Australians dress casually and generally don't wear suits unless attending formal occasions. Therefore, as tourists, it is also appropriate to give priority to light and casual clothes.

2. Don't talk loudly and laugh in public places such as airplanes, trains, buses, subways, cinemas or shopping malls.

3. Pay attention to queuing when shopping. When queuing in some places such as banks or ATM machines, you should also pay attention to keeping a certain distance from the people in front.

4. Don't spit, throw cigarette butts or throw rubbish everywhere. These acts can be reprimanded or fined in Australia.

Don't expel small animals, let alone shoot birds. In Australia, birds are protected by law.

6. You must buy a train ticket. There are no ticket inspectors in most stations in Australia, and occasionally there are train ticket inspectors. Once the evasion is found, a fine of several times the fare will be imposed and recorded. If they commit crimes again, their visas may be revoked and they will never have a chance to come to Australia again.

7. Australian aborigines are conservative and generally don't like tourists to take pictures of them, so don't take pictures rashly to avoid misunderstanding. In addition, places marked with "No Photographing" signs must also abide by the no-photographing rule.

8. China tourists think foreign children are cute and often want to take photos or tease them. If you want to take a photo with your child, you must get the parents' consent in advance, and remember not to touch the child's head or have physical contact with it at will to avoid being mistaken for harassment.

Dress suggestion

1. In tropical Australia, you can wear thin clothes all year round, but you should take a sweater or coat with you to prevent it from getting cold at night.

2. Wear sweaters, jackets, thin coats or warm clothes in winter (June-August).

Australians usually wear simple clothes, but in business meetings, theaters, restaurants and other special occasions, it is best for men to wear coats, ties or suits, while women need to wear more solemn clothes. Many times, try to wear comfortable and light clothes.

Other preventive measures

Traveling to Australia is generally indispensable for small household appliances such as electric razors and cameras. But it should be noted here that the voltage converter and transformer must be prepared before departure. This is because the voltage in Australia is mostly 240 volts AC, and it is a special three-pin socket. If tourists don't buy it for Australia, then it is ok to buy a universal converter.

When traveling to Australia, you'd better buy a local phone card or change some coins when changing foreign currency. Only in this way can the public telephone be used normally. However, the public telephone there is very convenient, and both domestic and international calls can be made. In addition, there are public telephones dedicated to credit cards in Australia, mostly in airports and hotels.

It is also necessary for people to prepare some small change when they travel to Australia, because this is a country that likes to collect tips. Although there is no official regulation on the tip paid by tourists, tourists usually tip the service staff when staying in hotels or eating in restaurants. However, there are also consulting institutions in Australia that provide free services to tourists from all over the world, and such institutions can be seen in cities of all sizes.

Travel to Australia should also bring some commonly used medicines. Like cold medicine, carsickness medicine and topical anti-inflammatory drugs, you should bring a little. In addition, the air in Australia is very dry, and people's skin is often uncomfortable. Bring more moisturizing skin care products. In addition, it should be noted that the commonly used drugs carried when traveling to Australia must be packaged and clearly labeled. If tourists bring too many drugs into the country, they must bring a doctor's prescription with them. On the other hand, if a tourist suffers from any disease that requires regular medication, the prescription of the medicine he carries must be approved by an Australian doctor.
