  If you're landing in the UK first, get a Three SIM card that has lots of data and works across Europe then just use that.

  They have 20/50 GB SIMs. Make sure it supports EU roaming as not all of them do though.

  The ones sold on Amazon.com.au are massively inflated rip off prices by third parties so avoid.

  Truphone eSIM Europe data only plan for 30days is AU$16 for 2GB, and AU$23 for 5GB …

  So if you have an eSIM compatible phone, you can download a sim and activate when you're leaving.
  Pair it with a Boost AU SIM, you have unlimited outgoing calls/SMS over VoLTE from the data sim.

  the only thing missing would be a UK number to get incoming calls, so if thats important, then you need an actual UK plan.

  I grabbed an Esim which works across Europe region - only data, no number associated with it. Many companies do it, I have used Airalo which seems a bit more on the expensive side but could set up in Australia. Been a pleasant experience so far.

  I bought an Ubigi eSIM for Europe and UK last year. No issues, worked well.
