When going to Australia, make sure to bring the following six items:
1. Mid-range to high-end digital camera
2. Phone
3. Charger
4. Sunshade umbrella
5. Glasses
6. Thermos
Specifically, the items you'll need to bring include:
- Power strips, 2-3 of them, very important. Make sure to buy good quality ones, with flat plugs, not curved, otherwise, the plugs may not fit tightly. Australia's standard voltage is 240 volts, with 50 hertz AC power, so electrical appliances from home can be used there. Most sockets in Australia are three-pronged.
- Glasses, thermos, toiletries, sunscreen, umbrellas, cosmetics, etc. Items like data cables, Ethernet cables, phone cases, etc., are expensive in Australia, so it's good to bring some extras without taking up too much space. Also, bring everyday clothes, a sun umbrella, a sun hat, swimwear, one or two sets of formal wear, and so on.
