Australia is a great place to take your vacation or travel to.  There are many wonderful sites and exciting adventures to take part in while you are there. With a few tips and facts you will be on your way to a vacation paradise. 

Money

You should not carry much cash on you when you travel anywhere.  However, you are not going to be able to use a credit card or write a check when you are visiting Australia.  A sensible way to make sure that you have enough currency is to get travelers checks.  This is a way that you will be able to get what you need and then some and also have the added security of knowing that you are covered if they are lost or stolen. 
Australian currency is decimal with the dollar as the basic unit.  There are exchange institutions where you can cash in and get the accurate currency that you will need. 

Climate

The climate is pleasant and there is not very hot temperature like some people thing there would be.  The temperate will depend on what time of the year you are there.  Usually you will find nice temperatures and a great weather pattern.  You will want to bring lightweight clothing for your trip.

Arrive at the airport early

When you are taking a plane, the best advice to you is to get there early.  There is so much security at the airports that you are sure to get held up and there is a chance that you may miss your flight if you do not give yourself enough time.  Allow lots of time for any possible delays that can come up at any unexpected time during your air travel time. 
Pack some fun

Flights can be boring if you are traveling alone or with children.  One way to avoid boredom or nervousness is to pack some fun things to do.  Crossword puzzles, books, hand help games and even headphones are a great idea.  This will keep your mind occupied and if you have little ones that need to be kept quiet or calm, coloring books are a big help for them.
