Do I need an electrical converter when I travel to Australia next month?
Electricity The electrical current in Australia is 240/250 volts, AC 50Hz. The Australian three pin power outlet is different from that in North America so you will need an adapter socket. If your appliances are not 240/250 volts you will need a voltage converter. Universal outlets for 240V or 11 OV appliances are usually found in leading hotels. http://www.about-australia.com/tips.htm Here’s a very popular one that will help you on this trip and wherever you go next: Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter List Price: $24.99 Price: $19.99 & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25 http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-33117-International-Travel-Adapter/dp/B0002H4YUI/ Amazon.com Product Description The Kensington 33117 Travel Pl
