Aussie Survival Guide
Will they let you in when you get here?
In many ways, Australia can be an easy place to
emigrate to, or holiday in, especially a working
holiday. But there are some key things you need to do.
Obviously a backpack is easier to carry and also more
convenient than a suitcase, because, packed lightly,
it’s more convenient to carry. DO NOT FAIL to check with
Customs and Quarantine on
their website about what you can or cannot bring
with you to Australia.
Essentials Check List
- Passport - with the "Visa" stamp on it. For
online visa (eVisa), bring the email printout with
