Extra travel considerations for Australia-to-Canada trips

Winter travel: If visiting during winter, plan for higher local transport costs and potential cash-only operations in remote areas.
Festivals & events: Popular events like the Calgary Stampede or Toronto International Film Festival may increase prices — booking accommodation and exchanging currency in advance is highly recommended.
