I'm from canada, so it says i need a power point adapter and voltage converter. Where do i get this? would it be 2 separate things or can i get in in one? i found a "step down transformer", and it will convert the voltage but will the 2 prongs fit in NZ and Australian outlets? Help!

You need something that looks like http://no1guide.co.nz/about-ne...rical-plugs-738.html

Try the TheSource/Radioshack, Walmart, or any travel luggage store.

You can buy them at Walmart, Canadian Tire, Rona, etc.

You only need a voltage converter if you are bringing something like a curling iron that cannot run on 220 volts. For most if not all chargers can run on 220 volt outlets.

You can probably get away with just a plug adaptor.

I would check what you are bringing and if its says 100-240volts 50/60Hz then it will work in NZ with just a plug adapter. If it only says 120v, 60Hz then you have to get a voltage converter and you should be able to find one that change the plugs as well.

I got mine at the source and it actually its adaptable with all plugs .
