    Perth International Airport at a Glance

    T1 and T2 Share a Skybridge Walkway and T3 and T4 Adjoin, but Nothing Connects the Two Precincts on Foot — They Face Each Other across the Runways, about 15 min Apart by Road. A Free Transfer Bus Runs between Them around the Clock, and Qantas Sends Its International Departures to T3 Rather than T1

    One Go Anywhere Fare: A$3.50 in Cash or A$3.15 on a SmartRider. There Is No Airport Surcharge, and Sundays Are Free for SmartRider and Contactless Users
    Perth Taxis Run on the Meter, and No City Fare Is Published by the Airport or the Operators. The Airport Adds a Fee of A$4.50 to Any Trip Starting at a Terminal
    T3 and T4, Including Its International Departures. Only the Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Services Leave from T1, Where Almost Every Other Airline Sits
    Possibly. Qantas Warns That Connecting from a T1 Arrival to Its T3 Departure Means Clearing Immigration and Taking a Public Bus, so You May Need an Australian Visa or ETA
    Drive-Up Daily Rates Run from A$37.20 in the Regional Car Park and A$39.40 in LongTerm to A$69.20 in ShortTerm and A$80.40 in Premium. Booking Online Is Cheaper

    Travel Tips & Essential Information for Australia

    Australia Is the Size of a Continent with Almost Everyone Living around Its Rim, so the Distances between the Places Worth Seeing Are What Visitors Misjudge. Coverage Follows the Cities, the Towns and the Highways Rather than the Map, and Everyone Needs a Visa before Boarding

    Official Languages: English

    English Is What You Will Hear and Read Everywhere, so Nothing about a Trip Here Needs a Phrasebook. Australian English Shortens Almost Every Word It Can — Arvo, Servo, Brekkie — and Tuning in Takes about a Day. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Languages Are Still Spoken in Some Communities

    Mobile Network: 4G and 5G Are Fast and Dependable across the Cities, the Suburbs, the Regional Towns and the Main Highways, and Away from Those the Network Simply Stops. It Is Built around Where People Live and Where the Roads Run Rather than across the Map, and Rural Areas Lost the Unmapped Bonus Range That 3G Used to Give Them

    Roaming/SIM/eSIM: Every Australian 3G Network Closed during 2024, so a 3G-only Handset Connects to Nothing and a 4G Handset without VoLTE Cannot Call at All, the Emergency Number Included. Roaming Is the Least Effort on a Short Trip and the Priciest per Gigabyte. A Local SIM Wins on a Long Stay or When You Need an Australian Number. An eSIM Gives You Data the Moment You Land, with No Shop and No Swapped Card. Check the Coverage Map against Your Route before Leaving the Sealed Roads

    Cards Work Almost Everywhere, Including on City Buses, Trains and Ferries, and Contactless Is the Default — Plenty of Cafes and Bars No Longer Handle Cash at All. Surcharges Are Common and Have to Be Shown before You Pay, Though Reserve Bank Rules Remove Them from Most Debit and Credit Card Payments from 1 October 2026. Keep a Little Cash for Roadhouses and Remote Communities

    Tipping Is Not Part of the Deal Here. Hospitality Staff Are Paid an Award Wage That Does Not Assume Tips, and the Price You Are Shown Is the Price You Pay. Nobody Tips in a Cafe, a Bar or a Taxi, and Leaving Nothing Is Not Rude. In a Restaurant with Table Service, Rounding Up or Leaving around 10 Percent Reads as a Genuine Compliment for Genuinely Good Service Rather than as an Expectation

    Plug Type: Type I

    Voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz

    Adapter: Australia Uses the Flat Three-Pin Type I Plug, Which Nothing from Europe, North America or the UK Will Fit, so Bring an Adapter. Supply Is 230 V at 50 Hz, so Phone and Laptop Chargers Almost Always Work as They Are, but a 110 V Appliance Needs a Converter Rather than an Adapter

    Australia Is a Safe Country, and What Puts Visitors in Hospital Is the Environment Rather than Crime — Sun, Surf, Heat and the Sheer Length of the Drives. Ambulance Transport Is Charged to the Patient and Is Covered Neither by Medicare nor by the Reciprocal Health Care Agreements, so Travel Insurance Earns Its Price Here

    • Australia Has Some of the Highest UV on Earth, and 15 Minutes Unprotected at a UV Index of 3 Is Enough to Damage Skin
    • Swim at Patrolled Beaches and Stay between the Red and Yellow Flags, and Heed the Signs Where There Are None
    • 112 Reaches Emergency Services from Any Mobile and Is Routed to 000, and 106 Is the Teletypewriter Line for Deaf Callers
    • Check Fire, Flood and Cyclone Warnings and Road Closures before Any Regional Trip, and Turn Back at a Flooded Crossing
    • Plan an Inland Drive around Fuel, Water and Phone Signal, All of Them Scarcer than the Map Suggests
    • Wildlife and Livestock on Country Roads Make Dawn, Dusk and Darkness the Riskiest Hours to Drive
    • Obey Crocodile and Marine Stinger Signs in the Tropical North, Fresh Water and Estuaries Included
    • Take Travel Insurance That Covers an Ambulance, Because Medicare Does Not and Only 11 Countries Hold a Reciprocal Agreement

    Do

    • Get Your Visa or ETA before You Book a Flight, Because Nobody Boards without One
    • Declare Every Food, Plant, Seed and Wooden Item on the Incoming Passenger Card
    • Carry a Certified English Translation or an International Driving Permit with a Non-English Licence
    • Check the Coverage Map against Your Route before You Leave the Sealed Roads
    • Take Travel Insurance That Covers Ambulance Transport
    • Slip on a Shirt, Slop on Sunscreen and Slap on a Hat, Cloudy Days Included
    • Book Coastal Beds and Domestic Flights Well Ahead of the Summer Holidays

    Avoid

    • Do Not Pack a Vape Casually — Importing One Is Prohibited outside a Narrow Exemption
    • Do Not Drive into Floodwater, However Shallow the Crossing Looks
    • Do Not Assume There Will Be a Signal on the Next Stretch of Road
    • Do Not Swim outside the Flags or Where a Warning Sign Is Posted
    • Do Not Feel Obliged to Tip, Because the Price on the Menu Is the Whole Price
    • Do Not Judge a Drive by the Map, Which Flatters Every Inland Distance
    • Do Not Enter Aboriginal Land or a Restricted Site Where a Permit Is Required

    Local Cultural Tips

    • Australians Go Informal Fast — First Names from the First Minute, and Small Talk with Whoever Is Serving You
    • Clocks Change Mid-Journey, and Only the Southeastern States Move Theirs Forward between October and April
    • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultures Are Living Rather than Historical, and Some Sites Are Signed as Restricted
    • Coffee Has Its Own Vocabulary Here — Order a Flat White or a Long Black, and Expect No Instant
    • School and Public Holidays Empty the Cities into the Coast, so Anything Coastal Books Out Months Ahead
    • A BYO Restaurant Lets You Bring Your Own Wine for a Corkage Fee, Which Is Ordinary Rather than Stingy
    • Queue and Wait Your Turn, at the Bar and at the Counter as Much as at the Bus Door
    • Shout Your Round When You Drink in a Group — Everyone Buys for Everyone, in Turn
    • Keep Your Voice Down on Public Transport and Give Up a Priority Seat before Being Asked
    • Stand Clear on the Left of an Escalator Where the Signs Ask for It — Practice Varies by City
    • Do Not Smoke or Vape near Doorways, Playgrounds or Outdoor Dining, Where Restrictions Are Wide and Enforced
    • Carry Your Rubbish Out of a National Park and Stay on the Marked Tracks
