What Do I Need When Traveling To Australia?
To enter into Australia you will need an Australian tourist visa issued from your own country and entered into a current passport prior to your departure. To apply for visas, you need to contact the Australian Embassy, Consulate or High Commission in your home country although some visas can be issued online. It is important to apply for the correct visa too. Tourist visas can be issued for time periods of up to 3 or 6 months and when applying for the visa you will need to prove that you have an out going ticket and sufficient funds for the duration of your stay.
When entering Australia you must surrender all fresh food, animal and plant produce and unprocessed food stuffs. This is a quarantine requirement to prevent the entry of foreign organisms that may have a harmful effect on Australia's native vegetation, wildlife and farming products. Strict regulations apply to the import and export of protected wildlife and items made from protected species. Any items will be seized customs officials upon arrival. This may include any wooden artifacts you have purchased.
When flying domestically, avoid early morning or late afternoon on the eastern seaboard routes. These flights are usually full with business people travelling between the capital cities. Two airlines that offer competitive rates are Jetstar , owned by Qantas, and Virgin Blue , owned by the Virgin Group. These are the main two flights that can be easily booked online.
Although there is no official religion in Australia you will be able to find churches of various denominations. Catholic and England faith churches are located in most towns. There are also places of worship for Jewish, Buddhist and Muslim along with others in the cities and most major towns.
be sure to wear a wide brimmed hat and 30+ sunscreen while visiting Australia. The sun has a high UV level and skin damage occurs quickly, especially mid day. It is extremely important to protect against sunburn at all times, but especially in summer.
When on the beach, always observe the beach safely signs. Swim only at patrolled beaches and only swim between the flags areas. You will always find a Beach Patrol Life Guard on major beaches and they usually wear yellow and red swim caps. Queensland also has its share of water hazards such as box jellyfish or stingers. These are generally found in shallow waters and most beaches are netted to provide stinger protection. There are other poisonous creatures on the reef such as some of the cone shell species and coral snakes both of which are capable of causing death, not to mention the sharks!! It is definitely worth seeking expert guidance to ensure you have a sound knowledge of what can hurt you before you start!
