Good questions
What is the best way to pay for public transport?
Use an Opal card, which you can top up at stations and convenience stores. Alternatively, you can simply tap on and off with your contactless credit/debit card or mobile device for the same fare.
Is tipping common in Australia?
Tipping is not obligatory or widely expected in Australia as staff are paid a fair minimum wage. However, for exceptional service in a restaurant, a tip of around 10% is a welcome gesture.
How can I be sun-safe in Sydney?
The Australian sun is very strong. It is crucial to wear high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, even on cloudy days. Seek shade during the middle of the day, from 11 AM to 3 PM.
