Default plugs and sockets!!

We are going on our recce trip in July/August and I have bought an adaptor for "ordinary" sockets, but what I wanted to know was what are the sockets in bathrooms (for shavers/electric toothbrush) like in Australia? Are they the same as here (shape wise) or am I going to have to get even more adaptors!!!?

Sockets in the bathrooms here are the same as in the rest of the house. There's no low voltage or 12v system in place.

if you stay at hotels you are likely to get the 'normal' shaver sockets, but in the unit and now the house we are in, like stated above, they are like the rest of the house. My electric toothbrush remains unused since it went flat in March - stil on the to do list of items to get
