As with different countries, certification of the vaccinations you have received is recommended although not mandatory except for the yellow fever vaccination certificate. If you are departing from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission then you must secure a verification of yellow fever vaccination before travelling to Australia. On the other hand, you are advised to bring insect repellents when travelling in Northern and Western Australia because of the risks of mosquito-borne illnesses in these areas such as Murray Valley encephalitis.
If you plan to travel by land around and about Australia, you’re probably thinking of renting a car, or more precisely hire a car as Aussies say it. So put your international driving license and other documents in order and prepare to drive on the left-hand side of the highway. You can book online and have your car waiting at the airport parking lot when you arrive. Just make sure you have read and understood the car hiring company’s terms of service.
