Which is europe and which is aussie please?? (need to pack the right one).
Many thanks,

Bring a 4 way extension adaptor thingy with you and change the plug with an Ozzie one, then you can charge all your cameras, vids, use hairdryers etc. with no hassle or messing with adaptors.

Great idea about taking the 4 way extension leads, I have begun to stock up on these. How many do you think you should take?
