Australian Power Supply

Plugs in Australia have two flat metal pins shaped live a “V” and some may contain a third flat pin in the centre. Depending on where you are coming from, you may also need to grab a voltage converter. Mains voltage in Australia is 240V 50Hz.

If you are coming from most countries in Asia, Africa and Europe, you should have appliances that work on the same mains voltage as Australia. Exceptions to this are Japan, USA and Canada which all use 100/120V 50/60Hz.

* Note: Visitors from New Zealand do not need either a voltage converter or power adapter. Your appliances will work in Australia.

Get Mobile

If you need to purchase a prepaid SIM card or eSIM to get yourself connected, Vodafone and Optus have stores at Sydney International Airport. Alternatively, there will be numerous outlets available near your Iglu properties and our teams will be able to point you in the right direction.

Getting Around

The easiest way to get around in Sydney is with an Opal Card. It allows you to travel on any train, bus, ferry or light rail within the Opal network. It also entitles you to travel savings and discounts. All you need to do is load it up with credit, and tap on and tap off the electronic readers. If you forget your Opal card, tapping your bank card will work too.
