When is the best time to visit Australia?
Spending Christmas at the beach or skiing in August may seem strange but Australia's
seasons are the opposite of the northern hemisphere - summer officially starts in December and winter in June. But even in winter you'll enjoy blue skies and warm, bright days. Australia's climate and the fact that it is the driest continent on earth makes it a fabulous holiday destination all year round, whatever you're planning to do. In the Australian winter you can ski in the southern states one day and be diving in the balmy waters of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland the next. Such temperate conditions make al fresco dining, sublime days on the beach or the water, outdoor barbeques, and a huge variety of sports a way of life here. No wonder Aussies believe life is for living!
Do I need a passport or visa to enter Australia?
A valid passport is required for all people wishing to travel to and enter Australia. Everyone, except holders of Australian and New
Zealand passports, require a visa to enter Australia. New Zealand passport holders apply for a visa upon arrival in Australia. All other passport holders must hold a visa before travelling to Australia.
Do I need vaccinations to enter Australia?
Vaccinations are not required unless you have come from, or visited a yellow fever infected country or zone within six days before arrival. No other health certificate is required to enter Australia.

Australia offers global roaming, but if you're phone is not compatible you can organise a mobile phone for the duration of your trip from www.vodarent.com.au which has convenient phone collection and drop off points at airport and city locations.
Do I need an international licence to drive in Australia?
No, you can drive on any valid licence.
Can I use my credit cards/ATM cards in Australia?
All major international credit cards can be used in Australia and travellers cheques are accepted at hotels, banks and some stores. If your credit card is encoded with a PIN number you will be able to withdraw cash from automatic teller machines (ATMs) situated at banks and shopping centres throughout the country.
Are there any poisonous animals in Australia?
There are many animals in Australia who can be harmful. To name a few, sea animals such as jelly fish, sharks, stone fish or crocodiles, snakes and spiders. Venomous snakes, including the tiger snake, copperhead snake and red-bellied black snake are mostly found in bushland but they can also live in built-up areas. Poisonous spiders, such as the redback spider and the white-tailed spider, are commonly found in houses, sheds and garages. The danger posed by snakes or spiders is, however, extremely low. There are no lions, tigers, or bears in Australia.
Where are the International Airports located in Australia?
Australia has 11 international gateways served by major international airlines. Major international airports are Sydney, Melbourne
and Brisbane, followed by Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin and Cairns.
What clothes should I take?
Australia is a vast country that has a range of temperate climates. In the Australian winter you can ski in the southern states one day and be diving in the balmy waters of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland the next. Such temperate conditions make al fresco dining, days on the beach or the water, and a huge variety of sports a way of life here. Keep clothing light, layered and comfortable to cater for whatever you want to do. Protect yourself against the sun - don’t forget to pack sunhat, sunglasses and suntan lotion. For special occasions like business meetings, theatres and formal dining, men may need a jacket and tie or suit and women a more formal dress.
