Average temp. for Sydney in October is 56 - 72 degrees F. Average rainfall 3". So light water resistant jacket will see you through most weather.
Also check out the plug configuration as well as the voltage. It is different.
The water goes down the plug in the opposite direction.
Down is on, on light switches not up.
Crossing the road, look to the right and be careful when driving around corners. That's when you are liable to revert to habit and end up on the wrong (or right as the case may be) side of the road. Take it from me. I did that in Santa Cruz. Stupid driver was coming straight for me or maybe that was just Californians man
Final few words of advice:
"Never underestimate the bounds of human stupidity!"
"Always look under the cushions for loose change!"
"Moderation is for monks" and "Nothing exceeds like excess!"
