Australian phone card owners are operated by three major companies, Telstra, Optus, Vondafone.

Signal strength / Price: Telstra > Optus > Vondafone

If you're going to play outside Australia's big cities, just think about Telstra. Because the network coverage here is really poor, Vondafone left the big city basically no service.

Here are some of Amway's phone operators, Boost and Amaysim.. Because the three carriers mentioned above have their own base stations, while Boost is renting the base stations of Telstra and Amaysim is Optus.. As a result, their operating costs are greatly reduced, and the telephone costs are naturally very cheap. In addition to the price, the Internet speed several books and big companies are the same.

Tips:

1. Because of the small number of Australians, buses do not always stop at every stop. So when waiting for the car, the car comes, remember to wave, or the car will drive away.

2. Most Australian buses don't report to the station. You can ask the driver to stop at the station you want when you get on the bus, or ring the bell before watching google map, arrive, or the car will drive away.

3. All of these cities, except Adelaide, have to remember tag off, when they get on the bus when they get out of the car, or they charge for the whole trip.

Major domestic airlines


hotel wineshop 

Hotels, accommodations, youth brigades, and campsites are Australia's main types of accommodations, the first two of which will be more common in major cities, and road travel is basically the latter two. And due to oversupply and underdeveloped networks, there is no need to book ahead of schedule throughout Australia, except for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and other big cities. Walk in would be fine to check in on the same day.


Road travel 

Australia is a left-hand carriageway. If you take the West Coast, it is recommended to rent a four-wheel drive, because there are many national parks where four-drive cars are the only way to go. Australian gas stations are largely self-help (the), coles and woolies tickets with their own fuel guns can be discounted at a discount of 30 Australian dollars and kept in case of an emergency. Big cities are cheap, the more remote, the more expensive.

[software]: road travel requires not only navigation Google Map, but also refueling artifact Fuel Map and camping artifact WikiCamps.

Gas station inquiry 

Fuel Map: can find out where there are gas stations, oil prices, and even toilets and bathrooms on the road. The update of the information depends on netizens, so when we arrive, we find that the oil price has changed, can be changed online, convenient for future people to use. The price of oil is uneven. In theory, the city is cheap, the suburbs will be expensive, and the more north the oil will be, the more expensive it will be.

WikiCamps: road trips will inevitably require camping, and some parts of the west coast are really remote and difficult to find hotels, but camping camps are well done. In fact, camping is not as bad as everyone thinks, so rest assured!
