| We were in Perth in November and had no problem using Mastercard and Visa (although I agree with the prevous comment about informing your card issuer that you are going abroad, just so there are no problems when you get there - had an issue at a camp site in France a few years ago)
Enjoy your time down under

| Do make sure you contact your card provider.I was in the middle of Brisbane and the bank put a stop on the card.It took 2 days to sort out because of the time difference.I did get an apology but was also told i should have informed them to put a travel tag on the cards. I dont forget anymore!!!!
