5 Things not to do when visiting Australia

Australia is one of the most favourite holiday destinations of the world and everyone wants to travel to Australia. It has been written and re-written hundreds of times in different ways in differnet blog. You can find a lot of articles with top destinations, from travel-planner help to what to do and how to do things. Not many sites tell you about those important things not to do when visiting Australia though.


1.       Do not travel without travel insurance in Australia

It does not matter what plan you have, when you travel Australia you first need to make sure you have unexpected expenses like medical coverage and cancellations of bookings covered.

2.       Do not book your flight to Australia too early

Most people tend to believe that the earlier you book the better. This travel rule applies only when you plan to travel to Australia on peak season. At Christmas or Easter you need to book at least 6 months ahead but for low season you do not need to book so early. 3-4 months are enough and 2 months is the perfect time to find cheapest flight deals to Australia.

3.       Do not stay in expensive hotels in Australia

It’s not easy to find good value hotels in Australia. If you want to try out something different why not consider other options like private stay with Airbnb and why not staying in YHA hostels they are all great ways of staying on a budget trip to Australia without sacrificing comfort.

4.       Do not take travellers cheques to Australia

In  the past travellers cheques were used as a way to save money on commissions but  nowadays there are high commissions and mostly hidden when exchanging them in any bank. So the best thing to do is to withdraw money from ATMs at the airport.


5.       Do not drive at night

This may sound silly or unusual, but for Australia is not. It truly is important for your own safety not to drive at dark, because of wildlife crossing the roads in rural and Outback areas as well because of bad weather and road conditions.
