But the price is a bit expensive, more than 1000 RMB. Later, Xueluo had to go down to explore the offline map, Google Maps, but after arriving at the destination, Xueluo and Liu Jingshujue's work is still the Gaode map that comes with the iPhone, as long as there is a signal, it is definitely easy to use. It will tell you which gourmet hotels are not congested with traffic.

There are also attractions and some gas stations, etc., and if there are multiple routes, the map will never let you go back, and you must experience a different scenery on the way back and forth. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu only used the Tantu offline map a few times when there was no signal. This is completely obedient to the iPhone from the 7 days to Melbourne.

However, the Google Maps up and down the mobile phone are also the same, and the Google Maps on the iPhone mobile phone are almost the same, but because Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are domestic mobile phones to surf the Internet, sometimes Google Maps is often dropped due to signal problems. 7: About the traffic rules in Australia.

Australia's driving direction is opposite to the country, the right side of the road is driving on the left, in fact, the basic traffic rules are similar to the country, but the first time to drive the right-hand drive car may be a little unaccustomed to the snowfall, but also the first time to drive the right-hand drive car, it feels good that there is no big difference with the left drive, that is, the bay is likely to follow the domestic traffic rules.

However, it is no problem to adapt to it a few times, and the car on the right hand drive is not as difficult as expected. But big cities are not recommended to drive, what, Melbourne is not recommended, to traffic jams and expensive parking spaces are scary, the key is that many roads in the city are not familiar with walking may violate traffic rules. Mountains like the Great Ocean Road are great places to drive.

For self-driving in Australia, you will always remember these points, the car recognizes people, the auxiliary road gives way to the main road, and the T-junction must give way to the car that goes straight must wait until there is no car in the straight line, and you can turn around. Because those who go straight in Australia drive very fast, there is no fork in the road in their minds, so there is no need to worry.

There were a few times when the snow fell, and the car that was always trying to turn and had no idea to go straight was almost hit. In addition, when rounding the island, you must give way to the right side of the roundabout to go first. There is also the fact that you can't use your mobile phone while driving, you must wear a seat belt in the whole car, you must overtake from the left lane when overtaking, and turn right with the lights in advance.

It is still much higher than that of Southeast Asian countries. Visa Xueluo and Liu Jingshu were both done on the almighty Taobao tour. Taobao has strict requirements for customers' bank statements and financial certificates. In fact, some people can directly send a visa to the consulate or embassy in Guangcheng or Beijing.

Arrival card other 1.About the weather in Australia: Australia is located in the south of the ball, so the weather is somewhat opposite to the country, when the snow falls and Liu Jingshu go, the country is still summer Australia in September, but in the spring, the morning and evening are still relatively cold, and the snow falls and Liu Jingshu need to be roasted or turned on the air conditioner, and they still need to wear two pieces of clothes during the day.

However, the weather is much warmer than in South Australia, and it is still a bit hot. South Australia is based on the rhythm of spring, so you need to prepare clothes, especially in the mountainous areas, it will be colder. 2. About communication: Australia Mobile Communications points why the boss is telstra, the second is optus, the third is vodafone.

It's as if a place like Ta Island has a signal only with telstra. Usually there is a local phone card at the airport to buy, insert the card into the mobile phone to connect to the card's telephone company for free, and write information and pay according to the requirements to open it. 3. About protection: It is still necessary to buy a full insurance for self-guided travel abroad.

In addition, the cost of medical care in Australia is very high, and it is important to plan a self-driving trip, and it is important to have adequate medical insurance to protect yourself. Xueluo is a Meiya Silver Plan bought, with medical coverage up to 100,000, self-driving, travel delays, changes, personal finances, accidents, etc. are guaranteed.

The coverage is comprehensive. It also includes emergency rescue, and it is more important to have the guarantee of emergency rescue for self-driving travel. 4. About photographic equipment: Camera: Nikond810GoPro4 lens: 18-35 wide angle, Sigma 35 fixed focus, 70-200 triple angle and other digital and photographic supplies. 5. About event reservations.

Therefore, the entertainment activities Xueluo and Liu Jingshu were booked through Taoding first. The Yinshuo goes to sea for a day trip and helicopter tour for a total of 2,400 yuan per person, and a high-altitude skydive is 1,200 yuan per person. 6. About currency: The exchange rate of RMB against Australian dollar is 1:5.01, and there is no need to exchange a large amount of Australian dollars from China.

Just go to the ATM machine at the airport to withdraw cash. Remember that only Huaxia Bank's first foreign cash withdrawal every day is not charged, so Xueluo also made a Huaxia card to withdraw cash once a few days. In addition to buying food and drinking, it is more convenient to spend other consumption Xueluo and Liu Jingshu by swiping credit cards. 7. About tax refund at Australian airports.

The amount of goods that can be refunded refers to the amount of the same invoice that exceeds 300 Australian dollars (but if the goods that have not been taxed in the first place cannot be refunded, the amount will be reduced). 1) If your tax refund items need to be consigned, such as liquid cosmetics and the like, you need to go to the tax refund place before the security check.

These tax refund items are generally handled there, and valuables are not processed. 2) Other items such as jewelry, handbags, and watches, for example, are handled at the TRS (TouristRefundScheme) counter after passing through the security check. You will need to show the staff your belongings, invoices, boarding passes.

It is also possible to send you your bank card (credit card, debit card) or check. There are no cash refunds at the counter, and credit cards are the most convenient. The refund amount is 10% GST, and the specific amount is clearly written on your invoice, and the tax refund is this amount. 3) Tax refund items are allowed in Australia.

Let's say you buy a $5,000 watch that you can wear on your hand to get a tax refund. It's the same with bags and clothes. If the tax refund amount for your item is relatively large, for example, if you buy jewelry worth tens of thousands of Australian dollars, the tax refund officer may take your passport and boarding pass to make a photocopy, which has nothing to do with it.

Or the most convenient way to get a tax refund is to download TRS, which can also be refunded by the tax refund APP software, and you can enter it after the invoice. Australia has had this app since 2015. 8. About time differences: Australia has three time zones. Western Australia and Beijing are in the same time zone and at the same time.

Nanao is in the East 9.5 district, which is an hour and a half ahead of the capital time. The eastern part of Australia is in the East 10 District, and the time is two hours earlier than the capital, of which the southeast coast, Melbourne and Canberra will also implement daylight saving time in October every year and April of the following year (the specific date varies every year), and the summer time time is three hours earlier than the capital time.

It's a little tiring to think about, and it's also the longest one-way flight since the snowfall trip. Fortunately, this time it was not a low-cost airline, but a domestic five-star airline: Sea Airlines, the model is an A330 passenger plane, and the seats are relatively spacious, because the 10-hour flight is not comfortable.

Sea Airlines is worthy of being a five-star airline, and the service of the flight attendants on the plane is very considerate and enthusiastic (Xueluo personally saw the flight attendants kneeling on the ground to pick up biscuits and smack) In addition, the flight meals of Sea Airlines are also very good, what Chinese food, Western food, dim sum, red wine, foreign wine are available to the guests.

This is also the airline that Xueluo estimates is that Xueluo has been on the plane for so many years, and Xueluo has seen the airline with the best service variety and the richest variety of in-flight meals. There was no advertising, because Hainan Airlines didn't pay Xueluo. Hehe, during the 10-hour flight, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu relied on the entertainment programs brought by the plane to pass the time.

HNA's in-flight entertainment system is still very thoughtful, with everything from games and cartoons played by children to movies and variety shows watched by adults. Even Xueluo, a program that designers like to watch, dreams of remodeling their homes, has. Xueluo watched two episodes of the show and a movie in one night to finally get past the 10 hours.

The children of Xueluo's family were watching cartoon shows and slept naturally until they got off the plane the next morning. It's all about it all night. At 5 o'clock in the morning, the flight attendant announced that the plane was still an hour away, and at this time, the sunlight outside the window was shining directly into the cabin through the window.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's children also woke up and stared at the sky outside the window in a daze. After a while, the flight attendant brought breakfast, and after everyone finished eating, the plane was almost ready to land. Finally, the plane ended its 10-hour flight and landed safely at the international airport. When I arrived at the airport, it was spring, and the spring morning was still a little cold.

I felt like there was a cold wind blowing outside, and I had to wear more than two pieces of clothing. At first glance, he didn't seem to have woken up yet, and there was an ATM machine in the security hall of the airport.

You can withdraw cash here UnionPay can also be used, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu both used Huaxia UnionPay cards to withdraw 500 Australian dollars first. After arriving, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's destination today is not another city in Australia, so it means that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have to take another three-hour plane to go.

When Xueluo and Liu Jingshu ran to the Jetstar counter in the waiting hall on the 1st floor to check in, the staff told Xueluo and Liu Jingshu that the international route of Jetstar here would go to the T3 terminal if they flew to Australia.

You have to go to the first floor to take the transfer bus between the airports, also called TBUS. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu had to hurry to the TBUS station downstairs to take the car, this TBUS was the TBUS, and when they went out from the arrival floor of the international airport, they could see this orange TBUS on the right hand side.

From here, it takes about 15 minutes to reach the domestic terminal 3 and $6 per ticket. Finally arrived at T terminal, after getting off the bus, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu ran towards Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's T3, and finally found T3 and waited for the plane to take off after handling CHECI-IN.

Many of the domestic sections of Australia are Jetstar Airways routes, when you get on the Jetstar Airways plane, you will feel that Jetstar is worthy of being a low-cost airline, compared to AirAsia's hot body flight attendants attract attention, Jetstar flight attendants can not be called flight attendants, only flight attendants. Because Jetstar is full of fat aunts aged 4-50 to serve.

Smooth and snowfalling, the envy of the flight attendant profession. Hehe. After three hours of sailing, Snow Fall and Liu Jingshu finally reached the east of Australia. When I arrived, it was more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature was much higher than here, so I had to travel with short sleeves.

It is the capital of North Queensland and a major city in northern Queensland, about 2,000 kilometres north of Brisbane, and is one of the main international gateways to and from Australia. Located in the tropics, with beautiful scenery and tropical islands, coral reefs, rainforests, etc., it is like a paradise in the middle of it.
