About Australia

About Australia

Australia - also known as OZ, or the Land Down Under - is a popular holiday and emigration destination, with most regions enjoying pleasant temperatures throughout the year. The sheer expanse of the country makes it a wonderful and intriguing country to visit. It’s the sixth largest country on the planet and includes the mainland, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. Australia is made up of a range of landscapes, from mountains to deserts, reefs, forests, beaches, and cosmopolitan cities. 

If you’re looking for an adventure holiday or if you plan to start a new life for you and your family, Australia really is the place to go. As you may know, Australia’s summer ranges from December to February, hence Christmas BBQs on the beach. This means that winter falls between June and August with cooler temperatures. However, as Australia is so big, the country covers a number of climate zones with some places much cooler than others.

Some of the top activities and must-see sites in Australia include snorkelling or diving round the Great Barrier Reef, taking a trip to Uluru and exploring the Blue Mountains National Park. It’s a great place to go trekking, mountain climbing, or to enjoy extreme sports. If you like to take it much, much easier, then Australia has some of the best beaches in the world. Why not spend the day at Bondi Beach, one of the most famous beaches there is. A bit further afield is Christmas Island which offers the perfect escape on its pristine beaches.

If you prefer a cosmopolitan holiday, Australia’s vibrant and lively cities make a brilliant destination. The capital, Canberra, is the largest landlocked city and offers a unique insight into Australian life. Influenced by garden cities, buildings are intermixed with parks and gardens. The larger cities of Sydney and Melbourne are the more popular destinations for tourists and those looking to emigrate. Sydney, of course, has its Opera House and is the site of the first British Colony in Australia, and is thus steeped in colonial history. Melbourne is in the state of Victoria. It is a fantastic cultural city filled with museums and galleries, and is home to a number of festivals.

Other Ways of Shipping to Australia

Australia Customs & Shipping Information

As well as sending parcels, baggage and luggage to Australia you could investigate the following options for shipping items internationally, especially if you need to send large, bulky items like pieces of furniture.

Air Freight to Australia

Air freight is one way you could send items, such as a table or armchair, to Australia. Sending items by air freight usually takes one to two days, which is usually faster than sea freight shipping, but typically more expensive. The amount you will be required to pay will depend on the weight and size of your shipment. You will likely also have to use the services of a customs agent to handle customs clearance for you. And, you will need to arrange how to get your items to and from the airport. Costs could, therefore, quickly mount up. If you send internationally by air freight to Australia your items would likely arrive at one of the major airports, such as Sydney Airport or Melbourne Airport.

Sea Freight and Container Shipping to Australia

You could choose sea freight rather than air freight to transport your possessions to Australia. This is an option if you don’t need to receive your items immediately. Again, this option is usually used when shipping large bulky items, such as a sofa or even a car. Sea freight usually means shipping items in large containers loaded onto cargo ships. It can be cheaper than air freight, but you will still need to use the services of a customs agent and will need to sort out how to get your items to and from the ports. So, the cost could end up being more than you first expected. When using container shipping to Australia your items will most likely arrive by ship at one of the major sea ports, such as the Port of Brisbane or the Port of Melbourne.

Shipping Goods to Australia

When shipping goods to Australia you need to be aware of the current customs rules. You should be aware of any duty that you need to pay and what items are allowed to be shipped to Australia, which items are restricted, and which are entirely prohibited.  Take a look at the prohibited items and customs sections on this page for more information.
