Dear experts, please help. I booked a Brisbane-Sydney one-way car rental online. After picking up the car from Hertz in Brisbane today, I will be visiting the Gold Coast for the next two days. I am considering leaving early from the Gold Coast to return to Sydney the day after tomorrow without any stops in between. Now that I have arrived at the Gold Coast, I want to stay an extra day and am considering returning the car directly to the Gold Coast airport and then taking a flight back to Sydney. The issue is that the original drop-off location was Sydney airport. Can I return the car early to the Gold Coast airport ? Australia Q&A
Brothers and sisters, I booked from Sydney to Melbourne from the 27th to the 29th (watching penguins on the 29th night). All the homestays and cars along the way have been booked.

Every day, someone is asking about the air quality. Check out this website: http://aqicn.org/map/australia/. From personal experience, if the air quality index (AQI) is less than 100, it's generally fine and you can see blue sky. If the AQI is over 100, you probably won't see blue sky, and if it's over 150, you can smell the odor of burning charcoal and won't see blue sky. When the AQI is over 180, it's quite serious, and the streets will be hazy. You won't be able to open the windows at night ? Australia Q&A
May I ask, we take off from Melbourne to Shenzhen at 9 am on the 5th, and arrive in Shenzhen at 4 pm on the 5th or 6th? The ticket doesn't show an extra day, so it should be 4 pm on the 5th, right? I feel that Australia is three hours ahead of us ? Australia Q&A

When watching the penguins return to their nests on Penguin Island, is it more convenient to drive the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne or take a ferry directly from the Mornington Peninsula? I'm mainly concerned about the hassle of taking a car on the ferry and I'm worried it might take longer than just driving around the coast. Thank you ? Australia Q&A
The best place to buy growth pads for children is on Taobao. You can throw them away when you are done or put them in your luggage. We did this several times when we went to Europe before. Whether you use them or not depends on your understanding of overall safety. Bringing them from home saves you the trouble and money, and there are almost no police officers who actively check. The key is whether you will encounter random checks. If you have growth pads, there should be no problem. We didn't encounter mandatory enforcement by the car company ? Australia Q&A
Not sure how to refill gas in Australia. When my tire pressure warning light came on during a Road trip in the US, I didn't know where to go to refill. I asked a local and they said that every gas station in the US has professional self-service refueling equipment and you need to borrow a hose and nozzle from the gas station's convenience store and do it yourself. There are no stores that specialize in fixing and refilling tires ? Australia Q&A
