You can apply for a range of visas, including tourist visas and working holiday visas, but you must do so before leaving home. Giving 10 per cent of the total bill is generally considered appropriate.
Australia has a common law system and driving is on the left, so most UK visitors will feel right at home.

You could end up being charged with a serious crime, and that's not going to work out in your favor. Second, think about this: Although there are many steps you can take to safeguard your data — and many are outlined below — if you make your phone seem odd or unusual, that might arouse even more suspicion, which could end up being more of a hassle than you bargained for.
More on that later. With those caveats out of the way, here are several things worth trying to protect your data from prying eyes.
The first thing you can try is logging out of your social media accounts from your device. That way, unless you specifically give up your social passwords to agents, they won't be able to easily read all your Facebook and Twitter private messages. Next, remove your email accounts from the device. It's relatively straightforward to add them back later, and, again, this will prevent unfettered access to your private or business email account.
Even if you remove accounts, some data that was stored on the device could be recovered with forensic search tools, but at least it will stymie the CBP agent who wants to casually scroll through your phone. And that is often the main thing agents want to do. Agents can't legally force U. Next you should enable full-disk encryption on your device, if you haven't already. You need encryption to keep your data safe, even if you have a strong login password for your phone or laptop.
Without encryption, it's a relatively straightforward task for officials with the right tools and training to get at the data in a device, whether they have the password or not. Next, disable biometrics — like a fingerprint or eye scan — on your device. CBP agents can't legally force U.
Also, if you're an iPhone owner, disable Siri access from your lockscreen. If you're running iOS 9. While you're taking the time to beef up your device security, go ahead and switch from a regular four- or six-digit passcode to an alphanumeric login — a combination of letters, numbers and other characters — which is much more secure. You can do this easily in your device settings.
Once you've done that, choose a strong passphrase. This is not the same as a hard-to-remember, Sean Spicer-style random configuration of numbers and symbols.
That kind of password sometimes be susceptible to a brute-force attack. Instead, considering using something like Diceware to generate a five-word phrase. If you're not too attached to your laptop, but still need one for work, consider traveling with a cheap one that doesn't have much or any personal data on it.
Devices like Chromebooks ideal for this. They're relatively inexpensive and offer security benefits over traditional computers. Specifically, Google's Chromebook is easy to wipe and, if you're signed out of your Google account, won't contain any information on you. Also, if your device is seized by agents, virtually all your data is on Google's servers anyway.
Much like having a travel-only Chromebook, using a secondary smartphone as a "burner" phone is a good option, but it's a relatively expensive one. The Danish Way to Live Well: Read this and over 1 million books with Kindle Unlimited.
