East Coast Australia travel FAQs
Yes. Visa or travel authority must be obtained by passport-holders from the United States. The most convenient and widely accepted option is the Electronic Travel Authority, which is associated with your passport.
- ETA (Subclass 601): Online through the official government app or website. It is quickly approved, with multiple entries and valid for stays of up to 3 months at a time for the purpose of touring the country.
- Passport Validity: It has to be valid for the entire period of stay in Australia.
- Our advice: Your EurotourClub travel organizer will not forget to remind you to apply for the ETA in good time before your trip.
Indeed, it is compulsory that all EurotourClub tourists have comprehensive travel insurance. Australia has very good health care, but it is very costly if one does not have health insurance.
- Medical & Evacuation Coverage: Ensure your policy has high medical benefits (commonly suggested to be a minimum of $100,000 AUD) and also provides medical evacuation benefits, which in the Outback or around the Reefs may be an essential part of your policy.
- Trip & Activity Insurance: Make sure your policy includes cancellation and activities such as scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, hiking, or 4WD excursions.
Tips in Australia are well received, but they are not expected or required. This is because the employees are already being paid a living wage, so tips are an added extra for exceptional service.
- Eating Out: When it comes to good table manners, it’s appreciated if you round up the amount to be paid by leaving 5-10% of the total amount, but it’s absolutely fine if you leave nothing.
- Taxis & Rideshares: Rounding up to the nearest dollar or simply telling the driver "keep the change" is the norm.
- Tour Guides: For an extended tour experience with a knowledgeable guide, handing over AU$10-20 per person, per day is considered generous and is highly appreciated.
Yes, the tap water in all the cities and larger towns of Australia is safe and good to drink. Its standards are very high.
- Urban Areas: You can drink tap water in hotels, restaurants, and residential areas without any worries.
- Rural and Remote Areas: In very remote areas of the Outback, or when trekking in national parks, it is always best to check with the locals. If in doubt, use bottled or treated water. Your guide will advise you.
- Environmental Note: Australians care a lot about the environment. Reusing a refillable bottle is encouraged.
Internet connectivity is very good in the cities and towns, but it can be very slow or even unavailable in the very remote areas.
- Free Wi-Fi: This is common in hotels, coffee shops, airports, and public areas in cities.
- Coverage Gaps: Be ready for times when there will be little or no connectivity in the Outback, in remote islands, and in certain national parks.
- Speeds: Speeds in urban areas are similar to those in the U.S., but could be slower in rural regions.
Yes, but planning is the key to avoiding high roaming costs.
- For U.S. Citizens: You should contact your carrier for an international roaming plan. This can be pricey for extended vacations.
- Best Local Solution: The best solution, which works well for the majority of tourists, is to buy a prepaid SIM card available in the country (for example, Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone) as soon as you land.
- Coverage: The coverage in urban areas and the coastal highways is quite good, but in the rest of the interior Outback, the coverage is sporadic to non-existent.
Modern, flush toilets are to be found everywhere in cities, hotels, and restaurants. The only place you might find a different experience is in rural areas.
- Urban & Tourist Facilities: Modern, Western-style toilets with toilet paper.
- National Parks & Remote Stops: In the bush camping areas, road stops, and hiking trails, you may come across what are known as "drop toilets" or pit toilets. These are quite basic but are usually cleaned regularly.
- Essential: When traveling to the backcountry or national parks, always be sure to bring your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer when using these facilities.
Indeed, Australia is a very secure country, and the crime rates are low. The first safety issue that should be considered in Australia is related to the natural environment.
- To ensure your safety: Sun & Dehydration: The sun is very powerful. You must use sunblock with an SPF of 50+, wear a hat, and drink lots of water.
- Ocean Safety: When at the beach, always swim between the red and yellow flags that mark the area where the lifeguards patrol. This is where the water is safe from rip and current conditions.
- Wildlife: Be aware of your surroundings when in bushland areas. Do not ever approach wild animals. Keep a distance from snakes, spiders, and sea creatures such as jellyfish during particular times of the year.
- The number for the police, medical, and fire services is 000.
