AUSTRALIA'S GREAT TRAIN JOURNEYS

by balhannah

Generally Train travel in Australia is simalary priced to other countries.My husband and I have done "special" scenic train trips around the world, and found they are usually more expensive........Well, in Australia it is the same.What I like here, is the FREE BOOKLET which is obtainable from some Tourist Information Centres.I think they may probably mail one to you if you rang the number.I thought it an excellent publication, for not only does it give details on each Train journey, but it includes the sightseeing from a 4 hour tour, and up to a 13day 12nights package tours.It covers journeys by the INDIAN PACIFIC -------- Sydney - Perth via Adelaide or the opposite wayTHE GHAN ------------- Adelaide to Darwin " " " "THE SOUTHERN SPIRT- Adelaide to Brisbane via Melbourne " " " "THE OVERLAND-------- Adelaide to Melbourne " " " "So, if you are planning one I these trips, I recommend the...

SAVE MONEY WITH A SHOP-A-DOCKET

by balhannah

A shop-a-docket - What is it?It is what is on the back of the docket/receipt that you receive after buying your groceries. These dockets often have good deals. Some are buy one and get one free, this ranges from coffee, milkshakes, to fast food outlet deals and more.Holidays are often at a very reasonable price, and so are deals to different attractions. Just remember, before you throw your docket away, check the back incase there is something that you can use! These are found on dockets all around Australia.

SAVE MONEY WHEN FILLING YOUR CAR WITH FUEL!

by balhannah

An easy way to save money when filling your car with fuel, is to have previously bought $30 & over worth of groceries from either COLES or WOOLWORTHS stores.When you take a look at your receipt, you will find on the bottom what I have taken a photo of.Sometimes you may receive either 4c litre off, 8cents or even 10cents litre off the cost of your petrol [fuel]Just tear of the part that I have a photo off, then, for Coles vouchers, head to a SHELL service station to use, and for Woolworths, to a WOOLWORTHS service station or a participating CALTEX service station.Usually outside the station, they have how much per litre the discounted fuel will cost. Just take your docket/receipt with you when you pay, and the amount will be deducted from the bill.Depending on how much you buy, it can save you quite a few dollars.This discount is available all around Australia, and can be used from state...

ATM'S IN AUSTRALIA

by balhannah

ATM'S are located all around Australia. You will find them at Banks, Shopping centres, inside Service Stations, Hotels, Train & Bus Stations, anywhere where the public might need money.You will not get change from the ATM, as the money dispensed is in $50 notes, it is only if you want an uneven amount that you will receive some smaller notes.A good idea is to feel where your card goes into the machine, as if it is loose, then it probably has been tampered with. I saw this warning on Television.Always cover the keyboard when entering your pin, this is common sense.

Need Some Cash in Hand?

by wise23girl

Cash in Hand...Using ATMs So you meed to know where to look for a safe withdrawal of cash and by what name to ask if you cannot find one...in Australia we call the little beasts Automatic Teller Machines (ATMS) where as you might be used to Bankomet...or Cash Machine.Be aware of how much you can withdraw in a 24 hour period (usually 12mn to 12mn but be aware of Daylight Saving Time between states)And there are times when the machines are empty...waiting for a refill...so do not leave your withdrawal till the last minute especially in out of the way places and we do have out of the way places in Queensland and Australia.Probably the most widely accepted cards world wide are Visa and Mastercard...but look for the insignia that matches your card Cirrus or Maestro for example.Cash withdrawals are not free nor is currency conversion but you are better to be safe than sorry.
