If you have any prescription medication, I suggest you get a letter from your doctor or a copy of the prescription. Again it all depends upon whether they have reasons to be suspicious of you.

At immigration, they will ask you some very innocent sounding questions like ..."What are you planning to do in OZ".

If you can tell them exactly what you are going to see, which cities you will be traveling to, the route you are going to take, then they will know that you are a genuine tourist.

If you can't give any details regarding your itinerary, they will suspect you of entering the country to work illegally.

Thanks again, I've got it planned for the 2 weeks trip all hotels booked and paid, all agoda receipts printed and also google map routes. This part I should clear.
 
Finally booked Avis. Quite expensive during holiday season.
 
1) can drive
2) can pickup and drop off at sydney. Any reputable car rental companies will do. Get maximum coverage though.
3) Those factory outlets are quite different from the ones u find in USA. They are sort of selling outdated, slight defective products.

IMO, not worth to go out of the way to browse even. Find scenic stops along the way and take more pictures is more meaningful. I did a 4-hour drive from Sydney to Canberra before and stopped a few times to take pictures of wild kangaroos, scenic mountain views and enjoyed those coffee breaks at gas stations along the way. Also, went to a small town which had a huge iconic sheep at the town's entrance (forgot the name of the town). All much better than going to shop at those factory outlets. However, if in london or vegas, new york, then it is worth visiting those outlets.
 
OK guys I got through customs with medicines and 酸梅 and a cup noodle all no problem. I did declare but they don't bother to check and waved me off, didn't even ask me anything. Expected weather to be very hot but was met with 20degC temperature yesterday and even today. Wife and I did not bring any warm clothes cos thought it'll be more than 30degC throughout.

Just go get a few not too expensive ones at big w, target and kmart.

Shopping is not fantastic. Enjoy the wildlife and scenery more, and the countryside and their cuisine and beers :)
 
If you were here a few days earlier you would have experience the 40 degree heat. It's nice cooling weather now.

Yes so I arrived yesterday morning and the taxi driver told me last Friday went up to 42degC at some places. But then today whole day raining so just went Chinatown and then took the ferry for some sightseeing and ended up dinner at Casa an Italian restaurant. Tomorrow will be interesting, driving for Nowra, thus begin my drive to Melbourne.

It's pretty cold here now

 
Hope you enjoy your stay there! If you drink, be sure to pay the nearest Dan Murphy's outlet a visit! Some of their outlets are as big as the average NTUC here in Singapore... all sorts of liquors and wines, and MUCH cheaper than in Singapore!

Thanks buddy. Yes I know Dan Murphy's used to see their newspaper advertisements center 2 pages, huge. But I am very careful not to drink and drive here unlike Bangkok. Also there are notices all over that during this period is double demerit points, Dec/20-Jan/1. I don't want no double when overseas.

Breakfast at the most popular deli now
