Local Aussie specialties include fish and chips, lamingtons, and barbecues, which are worth a try for those open to fusion tastes.
💰 Currency & Budget Tips
The currency is Australian Dollar (AUD). 1 INR ≈ 0.018 AUD (1 AUD ≈ ₹55–60). Australia is relatively expensive but offers high standards in return. Budget-friendly hotels and public transport help reduce costs. Forex cards are recommended, and credit/debit cards work almost everywhere. Mauzee Holiday provides tips on where to dine, shop, and travel smartly without compromising comfort.
📲 Connectivity & SIM Cards
Buy a local SIM card at the airport or from networks like Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone AU. These provide good data coverage even in remote regions. Wi-Fi is free in most cafes, malls, and public transport hubs. Mauzee can prearrange a SIM with your package for convenience.
🧳 What to Pack for Australia
Pack light cotton clothes for summer (Dec–Feb), and warm layers for southern cities in winter (June–Aug). Carry sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and swimwear for beach destinations. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for city tours and nature trails. Plug type is I, so carry a universal adapter.
🚖 Getting Around
Australia has excellent public transport systems—Metro trains, trams (especially in Melbourne), buses, and ferries. For families or groups, Mauzee can arrange private transfers or rental vehicles. Domestic flights are efficient for longer distances and save time.
🎁 Shopping & Souvenirs
Popular souvenirs include Aboriginal art, Tim Tams (chocolate biscuits), Opals and pearls, wool products, boomerangs, and Aussie wines. Explore Queen Victoria Market (Melbourne), The Rocks Market (Sydney), and duty-free shops at airports for deals and quality goods.

📅 Best Time to Visit
Australia is a year-round destination. Summer (Dec–Feb) is great for beaches and festivals. Autumn (Mar–May) and Spring (Sep–Nov) offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Winter (Jun–Aug) is ideal for snow in the Australian Alps and whale watching. Mauzee helps plan your trip based on preferred climate, experiences, and destinations.
