After you read Foxy Ralph's notes, and when you get there. If your appliance
doesnt work when you plug it in, switch on the outlet, many sockets in Aus
are switched

Another little difference - we switch the switch down for "on" and up
for "off" - directly opposite to many countries, including the USA.

Actually, most people here rarely see one that is not switched. They're
generally only used for fixed installations; all GPOs (General Purpose
Outlets) are switched as shown in Ralph's picture.

for "off" - directly opposite to many countries, including the USA.
