Here’s a hint. If you’re flying to a different city (e.g. Adelaide) to see a concert for which you have non-replaceable tickets (e.g. to the Big Day Out) – don’t leave them in your briefcase in Canberra.However, if you do leave them in your briefcase, I recommend realising at least a day before the concert and having lovely next door neighbours with a key to your place who will go and find them and express post them to you.

A good tip. Another one is this: If you are flying to New Zealand from Canberra (and stopping off in Sydney overnight on the way), then dont forget to bring your passport (you just might need it).
Also, its good to have friends who are willing to drive up from Canberra to Sydney at ridiculous hours (lets saying leaving at Canberra at 4am) who can then drop your passport off to you before your board (thanks Alaine).
So you’re not alone in making travel mistakes! Mine happened in 2006, so the pain has worn off..
