Australia travel notes

My notes after traveling to Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, and Tasmania in Australia.

Preparations

Mobile data: Optus prepaid eSIM or SIM

  • Optus prepaid eSIM are by far the cheapest with best coverage in Australia.
  • Get the eSIM online and install it before arriving in Australia.
  • For physical SIM, buy at convenience stores or supermarkets like Woolworths. Same plans as eSIM.
  • I got the 65GB for $13 AUD trial plan, which is valid for 28 days. Then I ended the plan to prevent auto-renewal.

Power plug: Type I

Airlines

Jetstar Airways was nice for both domestic and international flights.
