I've been eyeing on new gallium nitride charger for my laptop and phone, but they're all either for UK,US, EU, or CN. I really hate the filmsy adapter that usually comes with it. It either falls off after a while you plugged in or it just doesn't fit at all. It also surpises me that no one actually complained about it either.
Travel Adapter That Doesn't Actually Suck? Mainly CN/EU to AU plug

This - buy something like this and a power board.
Those stupid big universal power adapters are a pain and too heavy for most overseas sockets I've found.

I've been looking at the belkin lately.
The best ones I've found are the $5 ones from OfficeWorks.

They're also available with other sockets.
Have you actually used them? it's fairly priced
Yes, I have a few of them. I also recommended them to my employer and several friends. They are the most solid adapters I've seen, and the price is great.
I have the following for my travel:
Adapter: Baseus travel adapter https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/164107783436
Powerboard : Xiaomi powerboard https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/324084475211I've got exactly that xiaomi powerboard.. I've been using it for well over 4 years. Really good, the thing it's just too big if I want to travel light.
I've always thought big universal adapters were fool's gold because they almost always rely on an Eu?SE Asia adapter (two round pins) that sticks out far more than those for other countries - which means they often slip a bit out of the sockets.
I've gone for this instead on Amazon:
Ceptics Adapter Plug Set for World Wide International Travel Use - Grounded - Type B, C, E/F, G, I - https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B00E7P7UHK/ref=ppx_yo_d…
Yes, it means I need a separate USB-C charger, but that's going to be useful anyway, and at least I know it's going to work at maximum output.
