Customs: You are allowed to bring many foodstuffs into Australia. But whatever the food item, you need to declare it. You will then be processed by a Quarantine Officer, who will decide if that item is allowed. You could be fined more than AUD 200 on the spot, or even face prosecution, if you don’t declare quarantinable goods. You are not allowed to bring fresh fruit into Australia (even if you have been given it on the plane)

SIC Transfers: There will not be a name board with the passengers names for this service. You must make your way to the designated meeting point and wait for the coach driver there. You will be on a shuttle service with others, some of whom may be arriving on later flights. Once underway, the service may not go directly to the hotel, since the other guests destinations may be en route prior to yours.

Private Transfers: Means there will be a designated person, with a name board, looking for you and this service will be for you only and go directly to the destination. We recommend private airport transfers to those pax used to personalized attention. They will be much happier.
