Thank you all for the help. See you there in a couple of weeks.

Maybe you didn't hear of such a thing in person, but articles about people being barbed are out there: perth stingray attack - Google Search Even more articles may be missing due to australian government chasing Google for indexing news without a formal agreement.

Thanks :D

My plan is to fly from Europe to Australia and back, with unknown airline. So the luggage options should be more or less common. For example, if all airlines accept both carry-on (cabin) + checked (cargo area), or some airlines will only accept checked luggage. Also, luggage allowances (sizes...

$349 is quite expensive. A regular backpack wouldn't fit?

Ok according to ACCC in Australia they use litres (or liters) for taxation, so prices in servos should be in litres too, but don't understand yet how the price is more than one hundred. I guess it's AUD cents per litre?

Planning to visit Perth in winter, wonder what kind of climate is there so I know what kind of clothing is advisable. Is there a big difference between the day and the night, or are there few degrees of difference? So I should use winter clothing during the night and summer clothing during the...

iMessage could be great if it were multi-platform. I think Apple thinks sometime on the future everybody will just use an iPhone, which to be true is not an open standard. I remember back in the day when BlackBerry Messenger was the most used protocol, then when Android and iPhone appeared, RIM...

I guess it depends on age bracket as well.

@DC3 it's like not having credit/debit card, I just have a bank account in another country, if you like you can make a direct debit against it and we're done.
