TRAVEL TIPS
There are a number of important phone numbers in Australia that you may wish to keep in case of an emergency. The most important is for emergency services. In Australia, the emergency services number is 000. If you require police, ambulance or fire services, you can call this number for free from any phone (land line, mobile/cell or public) any time. There are severe penalties for misuse of this service.
Australia is a big country and a common way to get from place to place is to drive. If you want to drive in Australia, you should ensure that you are legally allowed to drive. Make sure you have an International Driver's License, obey speed limits, and obey Australia's road rules (which may be different to your own).
Be aware of what you can and can't bring into Australia. Australian Customs enforce their laws very strictly. Make sure you declare any items that are on the Customs arrival/departure cards that you fill in when you enter or leave the country.
