    Awesome tips, Michela. I agree on not doing extra research. If possible, have everything planned and stick to it so you don’t need to waste some time doing research on where to dine, etc. I bet your book would be very helpful for those planning to travel around Australia.

    What a great article and tips for Visiting Australia. Extra research is always the best way to plan trips. I like to know everything about any country I visit including history. This is helpful especially if you are visiting a country with a different culture, knowing the history can explain that culture, and avoid any cultural faux pas.

    Australia is a beautiful country (my home) and we love showing the new visitors what we have to offer. From amazing beaches to the vast inland deserts. As the well know poem says “I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains”

    We love your blog and have included you in the Best Female Travel Bloggers.

    Michela, these are great tips! Thanks for doing your research and writing this article! I’ve always traveled only on tourist tours. And last year I wanted to organize a trip myself. It’s great that you can plan your own route, choose the place where you want to stay, and the prices that you like. I used to feel a little discomfort communicating with tour operators, as I asked a lot of questions and it seemed to me that I annoy the tour operators. Your advice will be very useful to me. I am just planning my next trip with my family. Do you have any articles on traveling with pets? Best regards, James.

    We are going to Australia next year so this is just what I was searching for. I think I will also invest in your Australia Guidebook.
