Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Australia

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in Australia?

Sydney offers iconic sights like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, and the Royal Botanic Garden. Alternatively, Melbourne boasts laneway culture, Federation Square, and St Kilda beach. For a different experience, explore the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns or explore the unique wildlife of Tasmania.

    A month allows for a more diverse itinerary. You could start in Sydney, then fly to Uluru (Ayers Rock) to witness its majesty. Next, explore the red centre, perhaps taking a scenic flight over Kings Canyon. Then, head to Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest.

Those seeking a warmer climate might choose areas in the Northern Territory or Queensland.
  • Is Australia safe for solo travellers, including women?

    This depends on your preference. The southern states (Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia) generally have cooler, more temperate weather. Queensland and Northern New South Wales enjoy a warmer, subtropical climate, while areas further north experience a tropical climate. The best region depends on your tolerance for heat and cold.
  • What should one do if one loses their passport or documents in Australia?

    Immediately contact the nearest Australian Federal Police station and your embassy or consulate. They can assist with replacement documents and provide further guidance. You should also report the loss to your travel insurer.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Australia special?

    Australia Day (26 January) is a national public holiday. Other significant events include the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras (February/March), various local festivals celebrating harvest and indigenous culture throughout the year, and Christmas in December, which is celebrated as a summer holiday.
