What are the items that I should bring with me because they’re not available (or are too expensive) where I am going?
Australian Quarantine places heavy restrictions on the foods that can be imported into the country – in particular, spices and wheat and dairy-based foods. Therefore, you're advised to not bring any food products into Australia. This shouldn't pose a problem, as Adelaide has a very large range of supermarkets and specialty food stores where you are bound to find your favourite delicacies.↑ Top
Will anyone have particular trouble finding clothes that fit?
Purchasing clothes should not be an issue, as Adelaide’s malls and shopping areas feature a wide variety of clothiers to suit any needs.
