A few travel tips (See more on Travel
Essentials)
- Check the latest travel
advice for your destination and subscribe to
receive free e-mail notification each time the travel advice
for your destination is updated.
- Take out appropriate travel
insurance to cover hospital treatment, medical
evacuation and any activities, including adventure sports,
in which you plan to participate.
- Before travelling
overseas register your travel and contact details online or
at the local Australian embassy, high commission or
consulate once you arrive, so we can contact you in an
emergency.
- Obey the law.
Consular assistance cannot override local laws, even where
local laws appear harsh or unjust by Australian
standards.
- Check to see if you require
visas for the country or countries you are visiting
or transiting. Be aware that a visa does not guarantee
entry.
- Make copies of your
passport details, insurance policy, travellers cheques,
visas and credit card numbers. Carry one copy in a separate
place to the originals and leave a copy with someone at
home.
- Check with health
professionals for information on recommended
vaccinations or other precautions and find out about
overseas laws on travelling with medicines.
- Make sure your passport has
at least six months validity and carry additional
copies of your passport photo with you in case you need a
replacement passport while overseas.
- Leave a copy of your travel
itinerary with someone at home and keep in regular
contact with friends and relatives while overseas.
- Before departing Australia check
whether you are regarded as a national of the country you
intend to visit. Research whether holding dual
nationality has any implications for your
travel.

Camping and a few
tips
Camping is the cheapest
way to travel and see the world.
Camping is the international
word for campground. Almost every town has a camping with
enough ground to pitch a tent or park a caravan (trailer),
good showers and washing facilities, and often a grocery store
and restaurant, all for just a few dollars per person per
night.
Generally, we think of campgrounds as being
picturesque, rustic cul-de-sacs near a lake or forest.
|
However, many campgrounds can range
from functional (like spending the night in a park-and-ride)
to a vacation extravaganza, with restaurants, mini-water
parks, and discos. Camping forbid open fires, and you usually
won't find a riverfront lot with a stove, table, and privacy.
A small tent can almost always be squeezed in somewhere.
Camping equipment: Your camping trip deserves first-class
equipment. Spend some time and money outfitting yourself
before your trip.
Commit yourself to a camping trip or to
a no-camping trip and pack accordingly. Don't carry a sleeping
bag and a tent just in case.

Ten travel rules
(jokes)
Murphy Laws For Frequent
Flyers
1. No flight ever leaves on time unless you are
running late and need the delay to make the flight.
2. If you are running late for a flight, it will
depart from the farthest gate within the terminal.
3. If you
arrive very early for a flight, it inevitably will be delayed.
4. Flights never leave from Gate #1 at any terminal in
the world.
5. If you must work on your flight, you will
experience turbulence as soon as you touch pen to paper.
6. If you are assigned a middle seat, you can
determine who has the seats on the aisle and the window while you
are still in the boarding area. Just look for the two largest
passengers.
7. Only passengers seated in window seats ever have to
get up to go to the lavatory.
8. The crying baby on board your flight is
always seated next to you.
9. The best-looking woman on your flight is never
seated next to you.
10. The less carry-on luggage space available on an
aircraft, the more carry-on luggage passengers will bring aboard.
