The United Kingdom has a good site regarding travelling and living abroad hosted by their Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The site is packed with a ton of information a traveller will be delighted to see. There are sections for finding embassies, a section on passports, staying safe, living abroad as well as sections that advise travellers about travelling.
The travel advice is broken down by continent and country so that anyone wanting a specific advice, say, Australian travel advice, can actually just go to Asia and Oceania section where the travel advice is located.
Going to Australia? What does the site provide as Australian travel advice? The site mentioned Australia being a vast country and therefore tourists and travellers are advised to plan journeys carefully. Visas are required and return/onward tickets are mandatory. It is not advisable to just grab any offers of visa extensions by advertisements as these may be fraudulent and may lead to the unfortunate event of visa cancellation.
November to April are cyclone seasons in Australia. Cyclones in Australia lead to bush fires, dust storms and flash flooding. In the event one needs to travel within the cyclone season, it is advised to stay tuned to local media and to keep emergency information handy.
