Packing...
Travelers may now carry through security
checkpoints toiletries in 3 ounce containers that fit
comfortably in one, quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top
bag. The image below shows the current policy.
Liquids: Some liquids will be allowed once again through airport
security check points. There will however be restrictions on the
quantity of liquids that can be taken through:
 |
Passengers may carry small quantities
of liquids, but only within separate containers each of
which with a capacity not greater than 100ml (100ml
equals approximately 3.38 ounces).
These containers must be brought to the airport
contained in a single, transparent, re-sealable
plastic bag, which itself must not exceed 1
liter in capacity (approximately 20cms x 20cms. - 1 Liter is 2.11 pints or a
standard plastic quart bag in the US).
The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably and
the bag sealed. Each passenger
may carry only one such bag of liquids
The bag must be presented for examination at the
airport security point.
Liquids that can not be placed inside the re-sealable bag
must be packed into the hold luggage and checked in. Liquids of
any amount can still be carried in luggage checked into the
aircraft hold.
Remember that 'Liquids' includes:

Power Supply...
Australian 3-Pin Electrical Mains Plug
The domestic mains power supply in
Australia is 240V AC, 50Hz. Standard 3-pin earthed power outlets are rated
at 10Amps and are usually switched. The 3-flat-pin plug is used in all
states of Australia (including its external territories), New Zealand, Papua
New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Although the configuration is similar
to mains plugs used in mainland China, dimensional differences to the plug
body may be incompatible with recessed cord socket and prevent
Chinese-compliant CPCS/CCC (CCEE) plugs from being legally sold/used in
Australia. Argentina also uses a similar 3-flat-pin configuration as
Australia, but with slight dimensional differences and with the active and
neutral wires being reversed. These important differences prevent the
Argentina-compliant IRAM plugs from being legally sold/used in Australia as
incorrect polarity may present an electrical safety hazard.
The Australian mains plug configuration was
originally presented as provisional standard C112 in 1937, formalised as
Standard C112 in 1938, redesignated AS3112 in 1981 and harmonized with
the New Zealand standard and redesignated AS/NZS3112 in 1993. Australian
Standards AS/NZS 3112:2000 and AS/NZS3112:2004 for Australian Mains Plugs
now define the requirements for the insulation
of the Active and Neutral pins of the plug. 15Amp and 20Amp configurations
of the mains plug and outlet are also defined by the standard.
The following diagram shows the Australian plug
wiring configuration.
