TRAVEL TIPS |
 |
Size, Location, Population
Approximately the same size as the continental U.S. with a population
of 18 million. A non-stop flight from Los Angeles to Sydney takes
about 14 hours.
Time Zones
Like the US, Australia is broken into three different time zones.
From Pacific Standard Time, the eastern states (New South Wales,
Queensland, Victoria, ACT, Tasmania) are + 18 hours, the central
states (Northern Territory, South Australia) are + 19, and Western
Australia is + 20 hours. Some states practice daylight saving, so
these times will differ during certain months.
Entry Formalities
You must have a passport, valid for not less than 6 months beyond
the date of arrival, and a visitors visa. Consult your travel agent
or airline.
Currency
Australian dollar, decimal currency system. Notes: $100, $50, $20,
$10, $5. Coins: 5¢, 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, $1, $2.
Bank Hours
Generally 9:30am to 4pm Monday through Thursday, and 9:30am to 5pm
Friday.
Departure Tax
Departure tax is A$38 (approximately US$27) per person over 12 years
of age (included in international air ticket).
Electricity
240/250 volts, AC 50Hz. As the 3-pin outlets differ from those in
the US a converter/adapter kit is required. Most major hotels have
110v outlets for electric shavers.
Language
English is the official language, but you will hear many colorful
local expressions. Do not hesitate to ask questions, as people are
very helpful.
Shopping
9am-5pm weekdays, and Thursday to 9pm. Saturday 9am-4pm. Put Akubra
hats, Driza-Bone bushman raincoats, Aboriginal objects, wool products,
opals and pearls on your shopping list.
Tipping
Tipping is not the general custom, and service charges are not added
in hotels and restaurants. In better restaurants, however, it is
usual to tip up to 10%. Porters at airports, taxi drivers and hairdressers
do not expect to be tipped. At railway terminals porters have set
charges, but not at hotels. At any time tipping is your choice.
Climate
As Australia covers 30 degrees of latitude, there is a wide variation
in its climate. Looking to the north, about 40% of the continent
is in the tropics. In the southeast region of the Australian Alps,
there is snow for about 6 months of the year. Primarily, Australia
is a sunshine country - even in the cooler southern regions. No
capital gets less than 5.5 hours of sunshine per day. Perth is the
sunniest state capital, with nearly 8 hours of sunshine a day. Remember
that Australia, located in the southern hemisphere, has seasons
opposite North America's.
Food
Australians don't really have a dish that they can call their own.
But the country does offer a multitude of foods, from native kangaroo
tails and macadamia nuts, through avocados, fresh tropical fruits,
oysters and lobsters, to tender beef and lamb. And what you will
find is a variety of foods prepared with the skills of many nationalities
- French, Greek, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian
and many others.
