Thinking of visiting the land down under? Or, perhaps you\u2019ve already booked your trip to the land of kangas and crocs. While the thought of hopping on the plane and starting your adventure of a lifetime is extremely exciting, when the crunch time comes and you\u2019re ready to pack sometimes it can be just a tad (I lied, a lot) overwhelming. Which is why we\u2019ve come up with an Australia packing list to help the preparation process feel a little less like this\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And a little more like this\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tEXPLORE HOSTELS IN AUSTRALIA<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/p><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clothing & Footwear \ud83d\udc55\ud83d\udc5f<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Clothes. A somewhat obvious category, you know, the standard shorts and tee’s for summer and jumpers and jeans for winter, seems easy enough, right? But, we all know there’s nothing worse than not packing the right stuff for the right climates (apart from that English sentence). Anyways, never fear because we’re here with a list for both summer and winter clothes that we deem Australia appropriate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf1eAustralia Packing List for Summer \/ Harm Weather (Spring\/Summer: Sept-Feb)<\/h3>\n

1. Hat\/ peak\/bucket hat<\/h4>\n

It’s summer. In Australia. It\u2019s hot, extremely hot and if you\u2019re planning on spending days beach hopping or having a good old BBQ cricket sesh down by the beach, then having a hat of some sort will definitely come in handy especially for those (like me) who burn a little (a lot) easier than others.<\/p>\n

2. Thongs<\/h4>\n

Okay, a little disclaimer here, please and I say please strongly, do not wear your underwear out in public. I\u2019m well aware that \u2018thongs\u2019 in many cultures describe underwear, however, when an Aussie says they’re \u2018wearing their thongs to the beach\u2019 it means their slip slops\/sandals\/anything but their G-string\u2019s to the beach.<\/p>\n

3. Sunnies<\/h4>\n

This one is kinda self-explanatory, as Australia has such strong rays having sunglasses is a must when in Aus during the summer time.<\/p>\n

4. Swimmers\/ Bathers\/ costume<\/h4>\n

Surrounded by stunning coastline, a good pair of swimmers will be your best friend, especially if you have a road trip around Aus planned at some point during your travels.\u00a0You\u2019ll find hidden beaches tucked away at the end of long roads and with thousands of beaches, so\u00a0don\u2019t be surprised if you end up with a beach\u00a0all to yourself.<\/p>\n

5. Light sweater<\/h4>\n

While the summertime in Aus is extremely hot, you\u2019ll find, especially depending on where you are in the country that at night it can get a bit nippy and that\u2019s when\u00a0a light sweater will come in handy.<\/p>\n

6. T-shirts and shorts\/ skirts\/dresses<\/h4>\n

Again, pretty self-explanatory, whatever your preferred \u2018summer\u2019 outfits, pack a couple.<\/p>\n

7. Dressier clothes<\/h4>\n

A couple of dressier clothes that allow you to get into casinos and nightclubs will come in handy if partying down under is on your bucket list. Whilst Aus Is known for its gobsmacking beaches, us Aussies also love a good party so don\u2019t underestimate the nightlife scene.<\/p>\n

8. Waterproof\/windproof jacket<\/h4>\n

The summer season is also the wet season in parts of Aus, and thankfully so. A cool shower at the end of a scorching hot day is just what the doctor prescribed. That being said, pack a rain jacket that you can chuck on during the rain to keep you dry. While other parts of Australia rains during the winter,\u00a0sometimes depending when in summer you come, the night time can get a bit nippy, so a waterproof and windproof jacket is your best bet if you’re planning on travelling around the country.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2744\ufe0f Australia Packing List for Winter \/ Cold Weather (Autumn\/Winter: March\u2013Aug):<\/h3>\n

Depending on where you\u2019re planning on travelling to in \u2018Straya during the winter the weather can be a bit different. Luckily, Australia normally has a fairly warm winter compared to European countries. However, often travellers will find the Aussie winter ‘colder than they expected’. While Aus might not experience negative temperatures regularly during the winter it can definitely get nippy and you\u2019ll want some warmer clothes. Check out some\u00a0past statistics to get a better idea of climate where you\u2019re planning on heading. You\u2019ll see some towns around the top of Australia boast seemingly hot temperatures year-round, so if you\u2019re planning to head to a hotter climate perhaps a mix between this winter and summer packing list is the perfect mix.<\/p>\n

1. Beanie<\/h4>\n

This will come in handy for those of you who are planning on hitting the Aussie slopes or exploring Aus\u2019s winter wonderland, Tasmania\u2019s (yes, Tassie is a part of Australia).<\/p>\n

2. Sneakers<\/h4>\n

To keep your little piggies warm, because let\u2019s face it no one likes cold feet. Kick your thongs off and wrap those bad boys in some cosy socks.<\/p>\n

3. Scarf<\/h4>\n

A scarf can come in handy in more ways than one. Use it to keep your neck warm or dress up an outfit.<\/p>\n

4. Thermals<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re planning on hiking\u00a0during your trip down under and camping is on your to-do list, then please do yourself a favour and throw a couple of thermals into your backpack. You can send me a thank-you note later, I also accept bank transfers.<\/p>\n

5. Layers<\/h4>\n

Thin layers are a great way of packing light for colder climates. Especially if you\u2019re planning on travelling around Aus and its different climates. Think a couple of t-shirts and thin jerseys. You\u2019ll also have your thermals to layer under too if you find these layers just aren\u2019t warm enough.<\/p>\n

6. Warm jacket<\/h4>\n

One nice warm jacket won\u2019t go unloved during your time down under, especially during the evenings when the temperature drop.<\/p>\n

7. Jeans<\/h4>\n

Good ole denim, how could we forget you. They\u2019re the perfect attire for your bottom half during a normal winter day in Aus, plus, black jeans can also be used for smarter occasions.<\/p>\n

8. Dressier clothes<\/h4>\n

I\u2019ve mentioned this for both seasons because, well, whenever you travel it\u2019s always good to have smarter clothes for those\u00a0more formal\u00a0occasions like casinos, events\u00a0and\/or nightclubs.<\/p>\n

9. Waterproof\/ windproof jacket<\/h4>\n

Again, I\u2019ve mentioned this for both seasons as you\u2019ll find both the water and windproof part will come in handy during the winter months.<\/p>\n

10. Warm bed socks<\/h4>\n

Oh boy, if I could make you bring one thing, its socks. Nice warm bed socks. That you only wear to bed. It\u2019ll make getting into your bed that little bit better (if possible?) than the thought already is, plus it will keep your whole body a lot warmer when you\u2019re in colder temperatures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc5f Footwear Essentials:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Comfy sneakers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A good pair of sneakers is essential for city exploring, whether you’re walking through Sydney\u2019s bustling streets, Melbourne\u2019s laneways, or Brisbane\u2019s South Bank. Choose a breathable, comfortable pair that offers good support\u2014your feet will thank you after a day of sightseeing!<\/p>\n

2. Flip-flops\/sandals<\/strong><\/h4>\n

An absolute must-have for Australia\u2019s famous beach lifestyle! Whether you\u2019re relaxing on Bondi Beach, strolling around Byron Bay, or even just hanging out in your hostel, flip-flops (or \u2018thongs\u2019 as Aussies call them) are ideal for casual wear in warm weather. Plus, they come in handy for hostel showers.<\/p>\n

3. Hiking boots<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re planning on tackling some of Australia\u2019s incredible hiking trails\u2014like the Blue Mountains, the Great Ocean Walk, or Uluru\u2014you\u2019ll need sturdy, comfortable hiking boots. Choose a waterproof pair with good ankle support to handle rough terrain and long treks. They\u2019ll also be useful for exploring the Outback, where uneven surfaces and red dust are part of the adventure!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toiletries & Personal Care \ud83d\udec1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Sunscreen<\/h4>\n

Due to the infamous hole in the O-zone that sits right above Aus, the rays can get incredibly hot. Especially if you’re visiting during the summertime so throw the highest SPF sunscreen you can find into your backpack. Now.<\/p>\n

Special Note: Protect the Great Barrier Reef, opt for reef-safe sunscreen!<\/p>\n

2. Aloe Vera Oil<\/h4>\n

This one is for after you forget to bring your SPF sunscreen at the hostel\u2026 or underestimate the strength of the Aussie sun. Either way, Aloe Vera Oil is a life saver when it comes to sunburn.<\/p>\n

3. Insect Repellent<\/h4>\n

Chances are you\u2019ll run into a few unwanted friends during your trip to the land down under. Mosquitos being one of them. Insect repellent is always a good idea, especially if you\u2019re camping or out by a lake at dusk or night.<\/p>\n

4. Allergy pills<\/h4>\n

This one is for after you forget\u00a0your insect repellent at the hostel\u2026or for when the pollen count is ridiculously high.<\/p>\n

5. Jet lag remedy<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s no secret that the land down under is well\u2026 a stunningly long distance from most countries. With that being said, after you get off your supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-ly long flight you\u2019ll defiantly be in need of a pick me up. Research suggests that taking Melatonin supplements can help your body adjust to jet lag. Speak to your doctor and discuss the best ways to help your body adjust to life down under as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

6. Hand sanitizer<\/h4>\n

While you\u2019re out and about exploring it can be\u00a0so easy to catch the \u2018virus of the day\u2019 that’s going around. Hand sanitizer will soon become your best travel buddy. Just don\u2019t name it, that\u2019s a bit weird.<\/p>\n

7. Motion sickness pills<\/h4>\n

Australia has so many amazing activities and places that I\u2019m sure will be on your bucket list. A scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef? Swimming with the most majestic creatures – dolphins? A trip on the Rottnest express to beach paradise? You\u2019ll never be short of adventurous things to do and especially ones\u00a0that involve\u00a0the ocean, so that being said\u2026 you\u2019ll want motion sickness pills on standby during your trip as you never know where the day will take you – literally.<\/p>\n

8. Travel towel<\/h4>\n

Having your own towel that you can use at hostels or on beach hopping days is a must-have. You never know what picture-perfect beach could be waiting around the corner and wouldn\u2019t it be a shame if you didn\u2019t have a towel on\u00a0hand for\u00a0after you cool off.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Electronics & Travel Essentials\ud83d\udcf1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Universal adaptor<\/h3>\n

Because there\u2019s only one thing sadder than having no charge in your phone\u2026
\n<\/p>\n

2. Waterproof camera case<\/h3>\n

Because we only regret the photos we don\u2019t take\u2026
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Filtered water bottle<\/h3>\n

Because dehydration isn’t good for anyone…
\n<\/p>\n

4. Packing Cubes<\/h3>\n

Because being organised never\u00a0hurt nobody…
\n<\/p>\n

5. Bottle opener<\/h3>\n

Because\u00a0it’s never a bad time to crack a cold one…
\n<\/p>\n

6. Ear plugs<\/h3>\n

Because sometimes you need to block out the haters (snorers)
\n<\/p>\n

7. Torch<\/h3>\n

Because no one likes being left in the dark…
\n<\/p>\n

8. Visa<\/h3>\n

Because you know… it’s kinda a necessity…
\n<\/p>\n

9. Travel Insurance<\/h3>\n

Because sometimes the road gets a bit bumpy…
\n<\/p>\n

10. Travel Money Card<\/h3>\n

Because no one likes international credit card fee’s…
\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11. Bluetooth speakers<\/h3>\n

Because who doesn’t love a good dance with\u00a0your new\u00a0dorm mates…
\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n
