Default Europe 2 pin plugs??

Hello,

we have a few electrical items that have 2 pin European plugs on.

Will these work?

Will we just have to use adaptors, or can we cut off the plug and put a Oz 3 pin plug on?

Any input apreciated. Some of it is my sons stuff so wont leave it behind!

Change the plug with a 10amp one easily available from Bunnings or anywhere else. Job done.

For any adaptor/transformer units then just take a UK gang of sockets and just change the plug on that.

Europe is pretty much the same voltage/frequency as the UK and Aus, so just change the plugs when you arrive. A plug kit is only a couple of $.
