is australia plug same as uk Page 23

Ah, the old plug debate: Australia and the UK both use the Type I and Type G plugs respectively, which are not the same. Australia predominantly uses the Type I plug with three flat pins in a triangular pattern at 230V/50Hz. Meanwhile, the UK uses the Type G plug with three rectangular pins, also at 230V/50Hz. So, no, you can't just plug your kettle straight in without an adapter or a converter. Best bring your own adapter or pick one up at your local electronics store or online at places like ServiceCentral if you’re buying in Australia.
