Hi

I'm departing Heathrow on 3rd Nov for the Australia Highlights trip and can't wait.   Is that the one you are on?

Just pondering:

- clothes

- tips - Google suggests australia does not have a tipping culture (of course excluding the tour director and drivers etc, that's expected)

- how much currency to take

but I have sorted my visa and that was super quick.

Hi

I'm taking a combination but mostly will be using my card.

Tips for the tour director/drivers etc will need to be cash and I might take a little extra but mostly Revolut!

Hi fellow Aus November travellers - flying from Heathrow

As we have access to the airport lounge - would this be a good place to meet up say after 6.00pm - 2 hours before the flight?

I am struggling to sort an NZeTA application. The website seems to always be gummed up. Is there a cost?

The Australian eVisitor was easy to do!!

Hi - I'll be on that tour, flying from Birmingham- clothing wise, I will pack linen trousers, some dresses, And some lightweight tops with some hoodies.   As we will be approaching their summer, it should be about 25° in the location that we're going to

My Visa is sorted, and I've only transferred £200 into Australian dollars, and have a zero currency conversion on my Monzo card...  I look forward to meeting you
