Member Tips

Make the most of your Australia holiday.

With two new Club Connections locations in Brisbane and Melbourne, you can enjoy even more choices when it comes to planning an unforgettable holiday Down Under. As you're exploring your options, consider these tips to enhance your stay in Australia:

  • Be sure to look up Australia's customs laws before you travel.
  • Weather will vary in the winter, depending on the region you're visiting. Be prepared for a wide range of temperatures and conditions.
  • Many attractions offer free admission, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, the Botanic Gardens in Brisbane, and a majority of national parks.
  • Australia's most popular cities are spread out around the continent, so if you’re traveling across the continent, consider flying rather than driving.
  • Buy tickets in advance for attractions and activities such as BridgeClimb Sydney or snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef.
  • If you're not a strong swimmer, be careful — currents can be strong at some of Australia's beaches.
