Should I bring cash, travellers cheques or credit cards?
Travellers cheques aren’t as essential as they used to be, although it is still a good idea to bring some as a backup. It also doesn’t hurt to bring some cash that you can immediately convert to Aussie dollars at the airport for the little incidentals such as a bus or train fare to the Hostel (Buses and Trains run regularly from Sydney International Airport), purchasing your Vodafone Mobile Prepaid Phone* or International calling cards to let the parents know you’ve arrived safe and sound. The plastic “fantastic” credit card has quickly become the preferred way to carry money around and most cards are widely accepted throughout Australia.
