What Do I Need When Traveling To Australia?
A tourist visa, entered into your passport, is required when entering into Australia. These visa can be obtained from your country's Australian Embassy, Consulate or High Commission, some can even be done online. The tourist visa can be issued for up to a 6 month visit, however you will need to show proof of a return trip home and fund available 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.
If you are flying domestically, avoid flying early morning or late afternoon on the eastern seaboard routes. These flights are usually heavily booked by business people traveling between the capital cities. There are a few budget airlines that offer very competitive fares depending on when and where you want to go Jetstar, owned by Qantas and Virgin Blue , owned by the Virgin Group are the main two and flights can be easily be booked online.
There is no official religion in Australia. There are churches of Catholic or Church of England faith in most towns and cities and other places of worship for Jewish,Buddhist and Muslim and other faiths are also found in all cities and most major towns.
The weather in Australia is extreme. It is really important to protect against sunburn at all times, but especially in summer. Use a wide brimmed hat , 30+ sunscreen as Australian sun has a very high UV level and skin damage occurs rapidly especially in the middle of the day.
When planning a day at the beach swim only at patrolled beaches and between flag areas. Queensland water hazards include box jellyfish or stingers, generally found in shallow waters and most beaches are netted to provide protection. Other poisonous creatures are cone shell species and coral snakes, both of which can cause death, and don't forget about the sharks. It is worth looking into expert guidance to gain a sound knowledge of what can hurt you before you start your beach day.
