Australia is a continent in its own right, where the distance between two cities can exceed that from Paris to Moscow. Getting around between Sydney, the Kakadu gorges and the Great Ocean Road without a reliable connection means risking getting lost, literally. As soon as you set foot in Melbourne or Brisbane airport, an eSIM activated before you leave spares you the endless queue at local SIM card stands. With Simpartout, you choose your data plan from home and arrive already connected, ready to use Google Maps, share your first photos of the Sydney Opera House and call your family back in France.
Flight time from Paris
About 22 to 24 hours (with a stopover, usually in Singapore, Dubai or Doha)
Time difference with France
+8h to +11h depending on the state (Sydney: +10h in the French winter, +8h in summer)
Best time to visit
September to November (austral spring) and March to May (autumn) to avoid extreme heat and the monsoon
Power socket type
Type I: an adapter is essential for travellers from France
Why you need an eSIM in Australia
Australia poses a unique challenge for travellers from France: its colossal size and remote areas mean connectivity should never be taken lightly. Outside big cities such as Sydney, Melbourne or Perth, the network can become temperamental, all the more reason to choose an operator with solid coverage such as Telstra, which reaches the most remote regions. With an eSIM, you avoid airport queues and the exorbitant roaming fees of your French carrier, which can quickly push up the bill on a stay of several weeks. Australia is also a road-trip destination: real-time GPS navigation between Uluru and Alice Springs, or along the coast between Cairns and Brisbane, becomes vital. Finally, the time difference of 8 to 11 hours with France makes an immediate connection on arrival essential to reassure your loved ones.
