Australia — Useful tips for your trip
Australia is enormous — don’t underestimate the distances. Sydney to Melbourne is over 800km, Sydney to Cairns is nearly 2000km. Domestic flights between cities are often the only sensible option. If you’re planning a road trip, factor in at least two weeks for the east coast. A car is almost always needed outside the cities.
Take beach rip current warnings seriously. Australia has a system of ‘patrolled sections’ at popular beaches: always swim between the red and yellow flags where lifeguards patrol. Rip currents can be very strong and catch even experienced swimmers out. If you get caught in one, swim sideways not against it.
Driving in Australia’s outback and rural areas is different from most countries. Many unsealed roads require a 4WD vehicle and attempting them in a regular car can get you seriously stuck. Always check road conditions before heading out, carry plenty of water and let someone know your route. Mobile coverage is often zero in remote areas.
Australia has intense UV radiation that many visitors underestimate. Sunscreen SPF 50+ is essential, even on cloudy days. The Australian saying ‘Slip, Slop, Slap’ — slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat — is a genuine warning. You can get serious sunburn in an hour at the beach on an Australian summer day.
The Great Ocean Road along the Victorian coast is one of the world’s great road trips — plan at least two full days. The Great Barrier Reef is best explored from Cairns or the Whitsunday Islands. For the Red Centre and Uluru (Ayers Rock) allow at least three days based in Alice Springs. Early morning and sunset are the best times to see Uluru.
