Generally all you need is just a universal power adaptor which you can obtain easily from any supermarket's electronics dept ie Woolworths, BigW.

I am planning to bring my laptop computer to australia. Should I bring along the adaptor too because it won't fit into australian sockets.

Can I buy the adaptor and plug in australia for my toshiba laptop ?

What is a universal power adaptor ? Does it include both an adaptor and an australian plug ?

Don't bring any food, animal, plants. Australia customs discourage it. It is not worth all the trouble.
