Airlines for domestic
flights
Australia is big, sometimes it is easier to go somewhere by
plane. Some Airlines have really good offers, we went to Melbourne with Tiger
for only $110.
General safety suggestions
Australia is amazing, but certain security measures need to be met so your internship and the time in Australia can stay in your mind as a wonderful experience.
Don't do things you wouldn't do at home.
Don't hitch hike!
Try not to travel at night (most hire vans are not insured if you hit a kangaroo. They usually come out at night so be careful).
Try to travel with a friend.
Ask locals or other travelers for advice on 'safe' versus
'unsafe' local areas.
Never leave your drink somewhere in a club unattended.
Keep a photocopy of your passport and all other important
documents in a safe place.
Don’t show big amounts of cash (e.g. when you pay for something)
If you are mugged, don't fight back. It is better to lose a
few dollars than get injured.
Take note of warning signs especially on beaches, there might be
jelly fish, strong rips, sharks...
Beware of scams
Lately there have been stories about scams in the news mostly
concerning accommodation.
A general advice: when you buy or rent something, don’t send
money to people you haven’t seen or spoken to.
