UK electrical items work in Oz??
 
Hi all,

just planning what stuff to ship over and wondered whether our UK electrical items will actually work in Australia?? Just small stuff like digital radio, bread machine that kind of stuff. Obviously have to get new plugs but not sure about voltage etc.

Cheers!

Forget about the digital radio. There are no DAB broadcasts in Australia.

Thank you - my digital radio also has the ability to go analogue so I guess that will be ok?

And I thought that although the voltage range was similar, because the oscilation rates went backwards, all electrical items worked, but in reverse! :p

Exactly what I said. There are no DAB broadcasts in Australia. All digital radio broadcast are transmitted in DAB+ which is not compatible with DAB. If you have a UK DAB radio it will not work with DAB+.
