Getting Around
Whether you a living in the city or suburb, there are many optiions to see australia in a different prespective. Australia transportation system in terms of buses is pretty extensive .if you are living in suburbs ,you will notice that buses don’t run very often and you need alternative arrangement.But if you are planning to go on longer routes ,you may want to use the train services and airway system to go around. If you are located in a major city, a train/ tram system may be available to use offering, cheap and quick service to areas you wish to visit. For example Sydney has an extensive subway system that is cheap and easy to use.

Taxis
Taxis can be extremely expensive for students, and are good for longer journeys that are either too far for walking or by bicycle, or if there is no bus or subway system where you want to go. Always remember to check your driver has a valid ID card which should be displayed (if not ask to see it) and make sure the meter is running. Never enter a taxi where the driver has asked for a set fee! Generally you do not need to tip taxi drivers in Australia.PlanesDue to the size of Australia, flying may be the only option to travel the country. Australia has two major national airlines, of which the most famous is Qantas, and many more regional networks that will be able to fly to around the country.
