Looking to purchase a travel adaptor. What is OzBargain's recommendation? Looking for a combination of power point, USB A and USB C. This one looks good.

Plug adaptor to the country you visting and 4 port AU surge protector enough for me. Need to have separate USB C chargers.
This is my go to solution too. I don't trust the built-in USB ports in these devices won't die on me when I need it. I've got a compact set of simple travel adaptors, an allocacoc cube and a Zyron 65W GAN charger (that also can be adapted to the country if needed).
Given where power outlets often are, particularly next to the beds, I would get one with an extended power lead and shorter cables from the adapter to the devices. We just went overseas with a Belkin power adapter.
If you want to stay light, try to move everything to USB and get a charger with changeable ends like the Zyron 65W I use so I can adapt it to other countries. Most things these days will have a USB version apart from things that need high power draw. Otherwise, get a basic travel adapter and a good quality compact powerboard (I use an allocacoc cube which has been reliable) and a separate GAN charger as the USB ports on these cheap powerboards tend to die or are woefully underpowered.
Looks heavy and would take up too much room. There are country specific ones that will give you one plug and two USB chargers.
