What and how in Australia

So, you flew to Australia. You do not need to take products, seeds, plants with you – they will not let you through. It is better to present a can of caviar at customs. If the packaging is not broken, they will skip. It’s better to immediately declare money. If there are less than $ 10,000, there will be no questions; if there are more, our customs declaration must be presented, where they are indicated. It’s not worth taking animals with you. A person’s friend must be quarantined for six months before crossing the Australian border.

WHAT TO DO IN AUSTRALIA You can:

try to mine gold. In places that survived the gold rush in the last century, a goldfish is found today. To live in a hut without light, with a primitive stove, with the equipment of a single miner;
learn to jump with a parachute. This is a popular sport here; there are many international skydiving competitions in Australia;
go kayaking down mountain rivers. Also a popular pastime: world championships have been held more than once here;
fly in balloons. They hang in the sky of Australia continuously;
learn to scuba dive. They will help and even issue a certificate, however, without the right to be an instructor in this dangerous form of leisure;
take golf, tennis, cricket lessons;
Drive your rental car across Australia – ten days is enough, but memories!
to catch fish from the soul both in the sea and in the rivers;
rock climbing. Zealots of this affair flock here from all over the world;
go sledding … from the sand dunes!
