If you\u2019re planning a tour of East Coast Australia, one major question is what to pack? The tropics of Cairns call for floaty breathable fabrics, while downtown Melbourne can be crisp and cool even in the peak of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, what to pack for Australia depends on where you go and the type of holiday booked. What to wear in Australia<\/a> changes if you\u2019re planning a beachside vacation, city escape or an active outdoor adventure. Chances are you\u2019ll be doing all three!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling overwhelmed? The best thing to do is plan ahead so you can make the most of your holiday while on the road. If you\u2019re planning to travel the East Coast of Australia, here\u2019s ideas and tips for what to pack and what to wear wherever you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swimsuit and towel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The top way to be prepared for a tour of East Coast Australia\u2019s coastline is by packing a bikini or pair of swim shorts. Between Melbourne and Cairns there are more than 4000km of beaches waiting to be explored and you\u2019ll surely want to take advantage of a few. Even in winter the water is quite warm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other beach essential? Pack a towel of course. But if you\u2019ve read the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy<\/em> before then we shouldn\u2019t need to tell you that…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linen shirt, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Australians take sun safety seriously and you should too. The sun down under is extra strong thanks to an ozone hole, so applying (and reapplying) sunscreen is essential if you plan to be outdoors for more than 20 minutes at a time. If you are snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef you must be careful and wear reef safe sunscreen that won\u2019t damage the precious and colourful marine life. This is easy to find in any pharmacy down under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also pack a hat for the beach or when you\u2019re outdoors and a long-sleeve linen shirt for extra UV protection. Sunglasses (or sunnies, as they say in Aussie slang) are a must too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Surf<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Summer clothes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re heading up to the tropics of Far North Queensland to swim in the Great Barrier Reef and explore the Daintree know this: it will be very hot and very humid all year round. If you\u2019re thinking about what to wear in Australia, know that sometimes dressing for the climate is the only way to survive. Forget polyester and man-made fibres – pack loose cotton t-shirts, linen dresses or shorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the bigger cities like Brisbane, Sydney, Gold Coast and Melbourne people dress more cosmopolitan. One day you might head to the wildlife park, but the next you might have a long lunch by the water \u2013 so pack prepared with a dressier outfit and shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adventure clothing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Australia\u2019s nature is calling – the landscapes, the native wildlife and breathtaking scenery all demand your full attention. When considering what to pack for Australia, know that you will spend a lot of time outdoors. Go prepared with activewear or adventure gear to go on short coastal hikes or bush walks. This might mean a t-shirt and shorts for some, while others prefer yoga tights and a singlet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending how extreme your adventures get and which season you travel in, for your East Coast Australia travel you may like to pack a raincoat, windbreaker or other waterproof layer. In Queensland the humidity will make wearing a plastic rainjacket uncomfortable, but down south it\u2019s the perfect item to layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warmer layers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of the south, Melbourne has a reputation for having four seasons in one day, so no matter the time of year you will need options. If your tour of East Coast Australia takes to you the state of Victoria or city of Melbourne, be sure to pack jeans and a light sweater even in summer. In winter you\u2019ll need something much warmer like a wool jacket, scarf and beanie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Thongs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you know even a little Aussie slang you\u2019ll know that the thongs we\u2019re referring to here are flip flops, not underwear. Perhaps Australia’s favourite footwear, outside of downtown Sydney and Melbourne you\u2019ll commonly see people wandering the streets, beaches and shopping malls in thongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sneakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sneakers are perhaps the ultimate travel shoe – they can take you from the city to the bush. When wondering what to pack for Australia, include a pair of smart sneakers or pack both a chic sneaker and one for hiking. Women may also like to pack sandals for walking and a high heel for dinners out in the cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insect repellent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No doubt you\u2019ve heard about Australia\u2019s cute and dangerous wildlife. If you stick to the paths and follow your guide\u2019s instructions you\u2019ll be fine\u2026 except for one thing. Pack insect repellent! You may also like to bring allergy medication and after-sun lotion, but you can of course buy all these things along with sunscreen in the many pharmacies and supermarkets found everywhere along the East Coast of Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australian adaptor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you head down under your world flips upside down. Okay, that\u2019s not entirely true but they do use different powerpoints to what you are probably used to. Packing a power adaptor might be one of the most important things in your suitcase. Without it, your phone and camera will die and you won\u2019t have evidence of your trip. Another great travel tip is to pack a power board from your home country. That way you can charge multiple items at once with just one international adaptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water bottle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Australia is an active, outdoors country and you will be out there exploring the best of her beauty so expect to drink more water than usual. Australians try to be eco-conscious so BYO (bring your own) refillable water bottle to stay hydrated while you tour the East Coast of Australia. The water is safe to drink across the country and you will find public water fountains to refill at in parks, bus stops and streets all along the East Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
