Visum

You need a visa to enter Australia.

Climate and best time to travel

May is a great month to visit Northern Territory. There isn't much rain then and the roads are accessible. Also in this period it's not very crowded on camping sites, so you don't have to book in advance.

Money

If you know in advance which places you're going to visit, you can find out online if and where there are ATM's where you can use your MasterCard and Cirrus or Visa to withdraw money.

Plan your trip to Australia online

Through online reservation systems like À la Carte Vacations you can book airline tickets, hotels, rental cars and holiday houses. You can build a fly-drive itinerary with maximum flexibility, book a flight plus a hotel hotel for a night or weekend. Without the limitations of package deals from travel organisations and most times for a much better price.
