Australia uses a flat, 3-pin plug. Leading hotels will have 110V
outlets available for electric razors and personal hair-dryers.
However, it is always a good idea to purchase a converter for any
electrical device you depend on.
Laptop and notebook computers purchased in the US will definitely
require an adapter for use in Australia.

Telephones
When using a telephone in Australia there are a few differences.
When dialling long distance (50 km or more) all you need to place area
code in front of the telephone number, which can vary from place to
place. e.g. 02 (area no.) 9212 4777(phone no.)
When dialing international, you need to place 0011 then the country
number you are calling, the area number (drop the 0) then the phone number.
The 0011 number can vary depending on the provider you are using.
e.g. 0011 (international no.) 44 (country no.) 181 (area no.) 4687143 (phone no.)
If you have any problems calling interstate or international contact the local phone server.
