What and how much can I take when traveling to Australia?

in Australia, which is located in the southern hemisphere, the season is opposite to that of China. However, due to the great span between north and south, the expression "cold in winter" is not universal there. In January, the daytime temperature is over 3°C, and in July, the temperature is sometimes below 2 C..

in the south of Australia, Sydney, Melbourne and other places where you can go back and forth in one day, you can take a sea bath in summer and ski in winter, but there are few days below 15°C in Sydney during the day.

April-September is a good season to visit Queensland and the west of Australia, with an average temperature of 19-31 C during the day, which is not very hot and less rainy. June-August is the peak season, so hotels and flights must be booked in advance. October-March in summer is a good time to visit the south.

The interior of Australia is basically a desert. In summer, the daytime temperature often exceeds 4°C and it is very dry, so it is difficult to travel. On the other hand, the daytime temperature in winter is 25-28 C, which is very comfortable, and it is the best season for sightseeing. However, people traveling in winter should pay attention to the low temperature at night. In the coldest time, the temperature at night can drop by 5-6 C, and they must bring sweaters and coats.

Dressing suggestions

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, light coats or warm clothes in winter (June-August).

3. Australians usually wear simple clothes, but in special occasions such as business meetings, theaters and restaurants, it is best for men to wear coats, ties or suits, while women need to wear more solemn clothes. Most of the time, try to wear comfortable and light clothes.

Small appliances, such as electric shavers and cameras, are generally indispensable when traveling to Australia. But we need to pay attention here, and we must prepare a voltage converter and transformer before we leave. The reason for this is that the voltage in Australia is mostly 24 volts alternating current, and it is a special three-pin socket. If tourists don't use it exclusively in Australia when they buy it, then it is ok to buy a universal converter.

When traveling to Australia, it is best to buy a local calling card or change some coins when you exchange 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 overseas calls can be made. In addition, there are also public telephones dedicated to credit cards in Australia, most of which are concentrated in airports and hotels.

It is also necessary for people to prepare some small change when traveling to Australia, because it is a country that likes to collect tips. Although there is no official regulation on the tips 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 for tourists from all over the world, and such institutions can be seen in large and small cities.

When traveling to Australia, you should also take some commonly used medicines with you. Like cold medicine, carsickness medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs for external use, you should bring a little. In addition, the air in Australia is very dry, and people's skin is often uncomfortable, so bring more moisturizing skin care products. In addition, it should be noted that the commonly used drugs carried when traveling to Australia must be well packaged and clearly labeled. Visitors must carry a doctor's prescription with them if they bring too many drugs into the country. Another situation is that if the tourist himself has any diseases that require regular medication, then the prescription of the medicine he carries must be approved by an Australian doctor.
