Planning a trip to Australia? Here you'll find our 2 day-by-day itineraries (Sydney and NSW, Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, Whitsundays, Red Centre (Uluru, Alice Springs), Adelaide and Kangaroo Island), plus the essential practical info to organise your journey.

At a glance

  • Currency — The currency is the Australian dollar (AUD): about 1.65 to 1 euro
  • Language — The language is English, with a very characteristic slang and accent (the 'Strine') and many abbreviations
  • Visa — You need a valid passport AND a visa, mandatory even for tourism
  • e-SIM — Mobile coverage is excellent in cities but poor or absent in the interior and the desert (Telstra has the best regional coverage)

When to go to Australia

Reversed seasons: the Australian summer is December-February, winter June-August. The climate varies enormously: scorching desert in the centre, tropical and humid in the north (Cairns, with a rainy season and cyclones Nov-Apr), temperate on the south-east coast (Sydney, Melbourne). Best times: spring and autumn for the east coast, the dry season (May-Oct) for the tropical north and the Red Centre.

Practical tips

  • Wildlife and sea: caution — Australia has unique but also dangerous wildlife: in the sea, ALWAYS swim between the red and yellow lifeguard flags (ocean currents are very strong and cause drownings); avoid swimming where signs warn of box jellyfish (summer, Nov-Apr, even lethal, especially in the north), sharks and CROCODILES (North Queensland and the Northern Territory: never enter rivers/estuaries)
  • Outback and desert — Distances are enormous and the interior is remote: every year tourists get lost or die through recklessness
