Do you have a vacation planned to the beautiful beaches of Australia's Sunshine Coast? If that is the case there are some details regarding rules and laws in the outback that you should know. Having this knowledge before you go will make for a safe and peaceful experience during your visit.

If you drink the drinking age in the country is eighteen. As always, if you will be imbibing during your time on the Sunshine Coast keep your identification with you as most of the clubs will ask for you to show it before you enter.

Moving around the region is possible in a number of different ways. There's always rental cars available in Brisbane and around the Sunshine Coast but this area also has several different types of public transportation like private car services, limos, buses and railway systems. A lot of tourists though will pick up a car for hire due to the freedom of schedule it brings, allowing them to go and come to wherever and whenever they please.

Driving a car rental in Australia has some major differences than other parts of the globe, you drive on the left and all the speed limit signs will be in kilometers. However, their roads are in good shape and there are helpful signs everywhere. Be sure to obey the speed limit, watch where you park, and wear your seatbelt as these are things monitored carefully by the authorities. And as everywhere don't drink and drive, their drinking limit is .5% which is really low, and the police keep a sharp eye out for drivers under the influence.

Aussie money values are non fluctuating which is unusual as compared to other countries monetary policies. But similar to the American dollar there are 100 cents in the Aussie dollar, but there's no longer any use of the one and two cent coins. This causes a different shopping experience, if you find something with an odd cents price then you have to round up or down to the nearest five cents for the final price. The coin denominations come in one and two dollar coins along with 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents and 50 cents. Denomination notes have some plastic mixed in them to help if they get immersed in the water, they come in 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s and 100s with color coding for each.
