You are planning to travel or study in Australia – a beautiful country and the quality of life is among the best in the world. However, like other countries, there are also things you need to keep in mind in Australia to avoid unnecessary hassles.
1. Do not litter
As in many countries around the world, Australians have a strong sense of environmental protection and love nature. There is almost no littering on the streets, and garbage is sorted and placed in separate trash cans. Visitors to Australia should not litter their meals, but throw them in the right place. The Australian government has penalties for those who do not comply with the regulations.
2. Don't give tips to waiters
In Australia waiters are paid a decent salary and they are not in the habit of receiving tips (unless it is a special service). They will not feel offended or react at all, however this is not in their culture.
3. Respect for wildlife
As a country that loves nature, Australia is considered the home of wildlife. If you are travelling to Australia for the first time, respect the wildlife here if you want to get along with the friendly culture of the people here.
4. Don't forget to say thank you to the driver
People are quite friendly and sociable, since childhood they have been taught that they should live in harmony with everyone including the smallest actions. If you move by public transportation do not forget to wave or thank the driver. Small actions, big impact, you will not know how happy you just made others.
5. Don't go to secluded places alone
One thing you need to note when travelling to Australia is not to go to secluded places alone. Although we know that Kangaroo has many wild and majestic natural landscapes, attracting many adventure lovers to climb or camp, but there are always dangerous factors such as inclement weather, snakes or poisonous spiders, which can attack you at any time ... It is best to accompany small groups to ensure safety.
6. Don't climb Uluru Mountain
Uluru, the sacred mountain, is known as a giant monolith in Australia that can change color up to five times a day. Besides the mysterious beauty of this mountain, it also contains many mysterious stories told by people. The Anangu people still warn visitors not to bring anything from Uluru stone as a gift, or climb the mountain if you do not want to get bad luck. But despite the reminder, some visitors are too curious to climb the mountain or pick up the stones as souvenirs. Whether accidentally or intentionally, unfortunate things have happened to them.
7. Do not bring a coat, trousers, hat tied with feathers or knit with bamboo, palm leaves
Items such as clothes, hats and hats with feathers or knitted bamboo, palms and leaves will all be confiscated right from the airport. If deliberately concealed, it is likely to be imprisoned by local authorities when detected.
8. Don't underestimate the distance between cities when in Australia
We all know that Australia is a big country. Don't think you can drive from Sydney to Perth or Adelaide to Darwin in just two days. You'll have to cross vast deserts without any convenience stores on the way. Even around the Eastern coast there are quite populated areas, so the roads are also hassle-free and take longer to navigate.
9. Don't ignore rainstorm warnings
Part of Australia's climate is subtropical, so hurricanes and tornadoes are very frequent. If there are any hurricane warnings, stay alert. Do not try to drive through flooded roads, or camp in areas with large trees.
10. Smoking
In Australia smoking is prohibited in bars, restaurants, cafes and any public places, if you are found smoking in the above locations will be punished very severely. The age limit allowed by Australian law to drink alcohol is over 18.
11. Be generous and noble
Be generous, noble, or at least treat them in a reciprocal way. If someone buys you a drink, you'll buy them the same. If someone helps you, you owe them a favor, admit it, even if it's the waiter in the restaurant.
Do not think that you will be perceived as more important than anyone else. Do not rush to complain much. Australians do not really want to hear about all the things you hate. They expect you to just get on with things and do not feel you need to have special privileges.
12. Don't feel offended by the dialect or slang
As noted above, Australians are friendly and open-minded. They are funny and witty, so if an Australian friend teases you in slang, don't feel bad about it. It could be a sign that they want to start a friendship with you.
To get a great experience in Kangaroo, do not ignore the above interesting things!
