What to pack for Aussie Travel
What to pack to go Backpacking/ travelling round australia
You will need your passport, ticket and travellers cheques, your driving licence, a certified copy of your birth certicate and marriage certificate. Photocopy all of these several times and put one in the bottom of your back pack and leave a copy at home with folks, just in case.
To go back packing you need a backpack so choose a backpack that feels comfortable and is right for your height, weight etc.
These days they have great backpacks that have wheels with a handle for wheeling through airports, and zip off daypacks that aree idea to take on sigtseeing tours.
i suggest a first aid pack consisting of pain killers such as panadol or asprin, crepe bandage, bandaids, Antiseptic spray and Insect repellant - I’d recommend RID, or Aerogaurd. Australia is know for big mosquitos and heaps of flies.
Australia is devided into two climate zones the tropical zone in the far north and the temperate zone in the south.The far north has average temeratures of 19 - 35 degrees C and the South has average temperatures of 9 - 30 degrees.
The coldest it will ever get in Australia is -8 degrees c, so you will never need heavy duty winter clothing.
So what clothes should you consider packing if you are going to travel ropund Australia
- at least one short sleeve shirt and one long sleeve shirt, just incase you go on a job interview or asked out to a club or something.
- A couple of t-shirts both long and short sleeve in a sorted colours
- jeans and a nice pair of long legged trousers that will go nicely with the shirts.
- shorts and or skirts that go with the T-shirts and or shirts
- a pair of pyjamas or sleep shirt
- At least one sarong which are great for bathroom dashes, towels and swimmer throw overs.
- several sets of underwear and socks
- swimmers or bathers and remember to cover up the Australian sun burns
- sunglasses that are UV polaroid
- wide brimmed hat or or legionaires hat
- I sugest a pair of hiking boots that can double as respectable shoes with a bit of polish if needed, a pair of flat sandals and a pair of rubber thongs for the beach and taking a shower in so you don’t get foot fungus.
- A light weight wind and water proof jacket
