A Little Light on the Wonderland called Australia

The intoxicatingly gratifying destination of Australia boasts marvellous cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and Cairns. Narrow down on one of the cheap flights to Australia and prepare for the journey of a lifetime in these cities. While Sydney and Melbourne are packed with tourist magnets like Sydney Harbour, Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne museum, and have a pounding nightlife, Cairns treats one to some of the most marvellous sights of Northern Queensland. Similarly, Canberra is excellent for going on bushwalking trips and indulging in some fishing and rock climbing. Before visiting, it would be worthwhile to check out some travel tips and suggestions on Australia. Here they are.
   
  • Different categories of visas can be considered by British citizens planning to buy cheap tickets to Australia. Two of the different visas are the eVisitor visa and the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). The eVisitor visa maybe taken directly from the Department of Immigration & Citizenship without paying a visa application charge and service fee. The ETA needs to be obtained through airlines or travel agents at a travel fee of some A$20.

  • No minimum passport validity is required for visiting the country. However, travellers buying tickets to Australia should take note that for visiting other countries in the region, one’s passport has to be valid for at least 6 months.

  • Before buying air tickets to Australia, travellers should also make sure that all necessary vaccinations are in place. For guidance on general prevention of disease health requirements, and vaccinations, visit the websites of Scotland’s Fit for Travel and the National Travel Heath Network and Centre NaTHNaC.
