UK to Australia travel adaptors
Hi peeps
My girlfriend and i head out to Sydney next week and need some advice. We have loads of electrical stuff that we are bringing all of which have uk plugs. Any ideas were I can pick up some travel adaptors from? Is it best to get them in the uk or wait till we get to Sydney?
Seasons greetings

Make sure you also bring some multi-plug powerboards. Many older Aussie houses have a dearth of powerpoints - mine for example has just ONE in the sitting room - absolutely insane - and also only one in each bedroom. Powerboards, and extension-lead spaghetti quickly become part of life.

You can get them both sides of the world, though I have to say the ones I bought in the UK seem a little more sturdy.

I picked a couple up from Asda to throw in my suitcase. If I remember right they were £1 each

Been here 3 years now and we still have a couple of 6 way(+one 4 way on the Christmas tree) UK adaptors with an Australian plug on. Oz plugs are about $3 from bunnings I think.
