1. Clothing Australia has a pleasant climate, which is not cold in winter (no need for winter clothes) and less pollution (clothes are dirt-resistant), so the basic demand for clothing is very low. If formal entertainment needs are not considered, several sets of summer clothes and some sweaters are enough to cope with the four seasons.

2. Diet Australia's animal husbandry is developed, so beef and mutton are fresh and delicious, while coastal cities are dominated by seafood, especially oysters and lobsters in Sydney, crabs and herrings in Queensland, lobsters in South Australia and Western Australia, lungfish and prawns in the Northern Territory. In addition, Australia's coastal land is fertile, so rice, vegetables and fruits are abundant. Australia is a country composed of immigrants from all over the world, so all kinds of dishes are dazzling, with real materials and cheap prices. People, rich or poor, usually go to restaurants at least once a week. Tap water in Australia meets the health reference standards and can be directly drunk, while most of the water is fluoridated to prevent tooth decay.

About buying a house because Australia is vast and sparsely populated, the living environment is very superior. The most common house is a single garden house. 20% of newly-built houses are high-density houses, including residential quarters and apartments. Australians buy houses mainly for self-occupation and partly as investment. New houses are more expensive and second-hand houses are cheaper, so more people buy them. The repayment period depends on the loan amount, and some of them are as long as 25 years. Pay 65,438+00% of the house price in advance when buying a house, and pay it off on the transaction date. The buyer can own the land permanently by paying 1% of the house transaction tax, but it needs to pay about 1% of the real estate tax every year, and the seller needs to pay about 2% of the agency fee.

Regarding renting houses, people usually rent houses in two ways: real estate agents and newspaper advertisements. Local daily newspapers (including the Chinese version) publish rental advertisements in classified ads every day, especially on Saturdays. Whether renting a house directly through a real estate agent or through the owner, the procedures are basically the same. The above is the average rent of general housing in Australia, excluding luxury houses. The rent is related to the distance between the house and the city center. The closer to the city center, the more expensive the rent is. The rent is related to the living area. The more noble the area, the more expensive the rent. The rent is related to the city. Among the capital cities, Adelaide and Perth are the cheapest, while Brisbane, Hobart and Sydney are the most expensive (more than twice as expensive as Adelaide).

6./kloc-You can apply for a driver's license if you are over 0/6 years old. The exam is divided into two steps: the first step, the traffic common sense exam (Chinese test paper can be used), that is, the applicant obtains the learning driver's license after passing the written test; The second step is the road test, that is, learn to drive on the road and get a value license through the road test. New immigrants can generally use the driver's license of their original country for three months before applying for an Australian driver's license. China's driver's license is not in English, so a notarized English driver's license is required. If you have lived in Australia for more than a certain period of time, you must obtain a local driver's license. Australia's automobile testing requirements are very strict. Before the exam, you need to show your identification, fill in the registration form, conduct an eye test, license plate and so on.

7. Traffic Common Sense The driving direction in Australia is opposite to that in China. There are three types of pedestrians crossing the road: one is in downtown areas, commercial areas and other bustling areas, pedestrians should take crosswalks when crossing the road, and pedestrians should cross the road or wait by signal lights; Secondly, in places where there are many pedestrians, such as shopping centers, as long as pedestrians are on the zebra crossing, any vehicle needs to stop to let pedestrians pass; Thirdly, in residential areas and other places where there are few pedestrians, pedestrians can cross the road after observing the road conditions.

8. The legal/financial system follows the British case law system and tries cases according to legal provisions and precedents. Immigration laws apply to the whole world, not to any country. Immigrants sentenced to more than 12 months will have their green cards revoked. Strictly protect private legal property.

9. Customs attaches great importance to animal and plant quarantine, and it is recommended not to bring any food into Australia. If you are not sure, please take the red declaration channel. Each person can take 200 cigarettes and 2 bottles of wine duty-free. Those who exceed 65,438+00,000 Australian dollars (or equivalent) must declare. Pirated CDs/software will be confiscated and fined.
