Sun protection

The sun Down Under is notoriously harsh and Sydney is especially sunny, so pack your sunscreen, sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to stay protected.

Camera & extra SD card

Room in your suitcase

Whether you fall in love with Tim Tams or Vegemite, you’re sure to bring home some uniquely Australian souvenirs, so make sure you leave room in your luggage.

Australian dollars

Other things to know before you go

Depending on your nationality, you'll need a valid passport and may also need visas to enter. Please check this on our Frequently Asked Questions page, well in advance of your trip departure date. Some countries also require passports to have 3-6 months left on them before the given expiry date, so be sure to double check this before booking your travels.
