What type of travel plug adapter do I need for Australia please..... Santa bought me a three flat pin type but some internet pages have stated I need a two flat pin style so I’m concerned I’ve got the wrong one

I think it is the same as the Chinese (2 inclined flat pins with or without a 3rd fixed earth pin) - at least, the  3-pin (earthed) CN and AUS versions appear to be the same adapter as made by Go Travel & SKROSS and sold in Heathrow airside shops.

I haven't been to AUS so I don't know which type is now more common there, but I did find in CN to my surprise that my UK 3-pin to Chinese 2-pin converter wouldn't work in the CN 3-pin sockets now found in most of the Hotels in Yunnan and Tibet, so I now take both 2- and 3-pin types.

For Australia you need 2 flat pin style - both pins are slightly slanted either side. I borrowed the plug from my niece as I do have 2 flat pin style plug but was not sure if I would be able to slant them or not.

Throughout my Australia trip last year I used this one everywhere:

hopefully the photos will confirm that you have the correct sort.

If you have a favourite sunscreen take that. Also a credit/debit card with no transaction fees & good exchange rate. They are universally accepted, I only used £300 worth of Aus $ cash in 30 days. Otherwise I'd recommend that you pack light & buy local Australian products for you daily needs, there will be plenty of opportunities to pick up items.

Happy New Year & enjoy the trip.

Hi Andrea, it is a two pin flat style. I have a universal adapter with 4 different plugs.
