Rooming is organised on a twin-share basis. Solo travellers will be paired with another traveller of the same gender.

What should I pack
What should I pack
Below are some essential items for this trip. Please ensure you pack appropriately for the weather at the time of year you are travelling.
- Lightweight clothing. You will need to bring a mixture of lightweight clothing and layers. Long shirts and pants are useful to protect against the harsh Australian sun. Clothes should be easy to wash and dry. Maybe bring a change of smart clothes for dinner in larger cities. Australia is pretty casual; shorts or a skirt and a top, with sandals, is our usual warm-weather wardrobe.
- Comfortable, closed-in shoes. These will help protect your feet from cuts and scratches when walking through bush/grasslands and act as a protective barrier in the rare case of a bite or sting. A pair of sandals or thongs/flip-flops are great for the beach.
- Sun protection – a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses.
- Water bottle.
- Sarong/Shawl
- Waterproof jacket (shell)
- Try to avoid bringing unnecessary valuables and use your hotel safe. It’s also a good idea to purchase a money belt or pouch that is easily hidden.
- We strongly recommend that you photocopy all important documents, e.g. air tickets, passport, vaccination certificate, etc. and keep the copies separate from the originals. While not valid, a photocopy makes it much easier to obtain replacements if necessary.
You won’t be needing…
- Sleeping bag
- Pillow
- Blankets or sheets
- We ask that you bring only one main piece of luggage (backpack/suitcase) and a day pack.
What are the luggage restrictions?
What are the luggage restrictions?
We always recommend travelling with a backpack and packing light! 15-20kgs of stuff should be plenty. Australia is a BIG country so dragging around a huge bag is not fun.
