2/2

What to Pack

The wisest approach to dressing in Australia is through the

use of layered outfits. The weather frequently changes quite

suddenly, and the option of having a jacket to remove or

put on is one that will be appreciated.

Avoid perfume and lotion throughout the tropics, as they

attract mosquitoes and other bugs. Consider carrying insect

repellent.

In most cities, dress is casual, though in top restaurants and

resorts a jacket and tie may be required.

Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as are hiking shoes

if youre planning to trek.

A few dressy items for an evening out on the town

A jacket or light sweater is well suited for autumn evenings

in coastal cities, but during the winter a heavier, thicker

coat is ideal.

Electronic chargers for your camera, phone, iPad, etc. and

extra camera memory card(s).

Electrical converter and outlet adapter. The electrical

voltage in Australia is 240/250, 50Hz using a three-pin flat

blade plug.

fauna, and other oddities. As has become

his custom, he also effortlessly imparts

much history in this wildly funny book.

travelogue is as much

about its gifted author --

combines straightforward reporting,

history, dream-time stories, and a heady

mix of quotations from his notebooks.

of Discovery and

Adventure from the

Australian Frontier
