Kangaroo meat is widely available in Australian supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths. Prices typically range from 40 to 55 AUD per kg. It is recommended to choose unmarinated cuts as pre-marinated options often contain overpowering sauces. For best results, kangaroo meat should be slow-cooked, braised, or used in dishes like burgers and strogonoff rather than flash-fried as a steak, as it can be tougher than beef.

The Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS) in Australia allows tourists to claim a refund of Goods and Services Tax (GST) on eligible purchases over AUD 300 made from the same retailer (one ABN). Refunds are processed via credit card only. Ensure all required documentation, including receipts, is available for the refund claim.

iPhones purchased in Australia are generally compatible with Russian mobile networks and global standards. Tourists can claim a Goods and Services Tax (GST) refund upon departure from Australia. While Australian iPhones are compatible, prices might be more competitive in regions like the UAE, USA, or Japan. For non-iPhone devices, it is recommended to check network compatibility using local carrier tools (e.g., Optus' compatibility checker) to ensure full functionality on Australian networks, as some older or region-specific models (e.g., certain Xiaomi devices) might have band limitations.

When looking at car prices on Australian websites, ensure you are viewing them in Australian Dollars (AUD) and not US Dollars (USD) or other currencies. Websites that display prices in USD might be using browser translation tools that misinterpret the currency. Prices for cars in Australia can be more accessible than in Russia.

When purchasing a new car from official dealers in Australia, negotiation is often possible. While prices may sometimes be fixed, it is generally advisable to attempt negotiation. Be prepared to discuss pricing and potentially compromise.

When booking accommodation for Australia, consider using platforms like Trip.com, which often offers competitive global pricing and accepts 'Mir' card payments. Ozon Travel is another option that may provide discounts on flights. It is advisable to compare prices across multiple booking platforms to secure the best deals.
