Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Ghasemi - Thinking of traveling to Australia? These are some things that you should know or recall if you knew them before.

- Australia is huge and diverse , with an area of almost 7.7 million square kilometres, it is certainly very diverse and one vacation will not suffice to visit them all unless you plan to spend 6 months traveling all over the country.

- Australia is really expensive , budgeting at least $100 a day for accommodation, food, and activities. So consider flying with low-cost airlines, as well as private camping or staying in relatively cheap motels or Airbnb lodging.

Know the local language , there are actually quite a few differences between Australian English versus American or British English, some phrases change meanings completely and some ordinary words turn into insults.

- Do not expect to be surrounded by kangaroos and koalas , which can be discovered in the wild, but you have to go out to the national reserves away from the bustle of the city, and Kangaroo Island is one of the best places to see wildlife in Australia, or just watch it in the zoo.

- Be aware of your excessive generosity , because tipping in Australia is not a common practice, and you are not expected to offer it in restaurants, clubs, taxis or hotel staff, all workers in Australia are paid much better than anywhere else in the world.

Watch out for the scorching sun , the sun is really strong here for environmental or other reasons, and it has a much stronger effect on the skin, and south east Queensland has the highest rates of skin cancer in the world.

- The weather in Australia will surprise you . The Australian summer, which is between December and March, is not always a beautiful season like the summers in North America and Europe, but it is a very hot season while some parts of the country witness a lot of precipitation.

And while the northern parts of the country such as Darwin and Cairns are relatively warm throughout the year, temperatures in other parts drop below minus 5 degrees Celsius at times, so you know very well how to choose the best times to travel to Australia .
