Australia is a vast country with an amazing variety of places to see and people to meet. When travelling, it is important that you take precautions to make the most of your trip:
Let someone know your itinerary so that your family and friends can contact you in an emergency.
When travelling long distances, always carry plenty of fuel, food and water. Place a sign on the dashboard if you are not used to driving on the left and remember to take a break from driving every two hours.
It is strongly recommended not to hitchhike in Australia; it is unsafe and even illegal in some states.
To keep Australia beautiful, fines apply for littering. Please do not throw litter and cigarette butts anywhere but in the bin.
Be sun smart with clothing, hats, sunglasses and SPF 30+ sunscreen. Always swim between the red and yellow flags so that the lifesavers can see you, and when in northern Australia, never swim where crocodiles are known to inhabit.
