Covering yourself in clothing head-to-toe doesn\u2019t exactly sound cool to wear, but you will want the protection from the harsh UV rays out there so choose lightweight natural fibres like linen or cotton.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A word of warning: avoid taking your favourite lighter coloured clothing. That iconic red dirt is unforgiving on white or light fabrics and your favourite shirt or trousers will never be the same again. The dirt will leave your clothing with a slight orange tinge that is impossible to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>RELATED CONTEN<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>T:<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/spots-darwin-indigenous-australian-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>7 of the best spots in Darwin for discovering Indigenous Australian art<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-long-sleeve-tops\">Long-sleeve tops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>T-shirts are great to bring, but you will also want a cool-to-wear long-sleeve shirt to layer over the top. This way you can pop it on when you\u2019re in the sun, and let your arms breathe while stopping for lunch or being in the shade. Your long-sleeve shirt will offer not only protection from sunburn but also from pesky mosquitoes in the evening too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/Girl-outback-MustCreditTourismAustralia-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Girl-outback-MustCreditTourismAustralia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Girl-outback-MustCreditTourismAustralia-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Girl-outback-MustCreditTourismAustralia.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Tourism Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-broad-brimmed-hat\">Broad-brimmed hat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Live out your Crocodile Dundee dreams and rock around the Outback in a broad-brimmed hat. Of course, you can just wear a regular straw or fabric hat with a wide brim but that\u2019s not quite as fun. Either way you will definitely need a big, wide hat for your tour of Outback Australia. During the warmer month from October to April the flies can be irritating as they try to land on your face, so many gas stations or towns will sell you a small mosquito net (known as a fly net) that you pop over your hat. The wide brim will stop the net touching your face too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-swimsuit\">Swimsuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in the desert you will find a place to swim. There are lush Outback waterholes and waterfalls that might be the most spectacular places you\u2019ve ever seen or experienced. We\u2019d hate for you to arrive unprepared so pack a bathing suit, swim shorts and a towel to enjoy cooling off in nature. The best idea is to do as the locals do. Some spots will be signposted as safe to swim at, while others might be home to dangerous freshwater crocodiles. Either go with a guide or get advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/Family-group-outback-MustCreditTourismAustralia-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Family-group-outback-MustCreditTourismAustralia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Family-group-outback-MustCreditTourismAustralia-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Family-group-outback-MustCreditTourismAustralia.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Tourism Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sunglasses\">Sunglasses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSunnies\u201d, as the Aussies like to call them, are an essential for an Outback Australia trip. While it\u2019s easy to forget your pair you\u2019ll need them if you plan to stare out at those long, wide plains with the big bright sky filling your vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/outback-adventure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outback Adventure<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-warmer-layers\">Warmer layers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Outback Australia is lucky to enjoy warm weather year round, but in the desert when the sun dips the evenings can be quite cool. Like zero degrees cold. If you are exploring Outback Australia near Alice Springs or Uluru between May and September, definitely pack a warm jacket and warmer clothing like a fleece, beanie and long-sleeve t-shirts for the cooler nights. All year round, pack a lighter jacket in case you feel the cold at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-water-bottle\">Water bottle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outback Australia travel will make you thirsty so it pays to bring a big refillable water bottle. The hot, dry weather will have you drinking more water than usual and it\u2019s important to stay hydrated so you feel fit and healthy. Bring a reusable drink bottle and fill up every time you reach a new town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jeans\">Jeans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not exactly an essential, but if you want to look nice on your tour of Outback Australia, jeans double as smart casual wear. So if you\u2019re going out to dinner or for a nice glass of wine somewhere, pop your jeans on with a nice shirt or top and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/Sunset-on-the-Chace-Arkapena-Station-SA-Mandatory-credit-South-Australian-Tourism-Commission-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sunset-on-the-Chace-Arkapena-Station-SA-Mandatory-credit-South-Australian-Tourism-Commission-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sunset-on-the-Chace-Arkapena-Station-SA-Mandatory-credit-South-Australian-Tourism-Commission-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sunset-on-the-Chace-Arkapena-Station-SA-Mandatory-credit-South-Australian-Tourism-Commission.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: South Australian Tourism Commission<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hiking-shoes\">Hiking shoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget those cute white canvas sneakers, they will just turn orange in the dust. If you are planning to go on any adventures or walks on your Outback Australia trip, take hiking shoes with you so it\u2019s easy to hike up the rough and rocky terrain to waterfalls and other landmarks.

You definitely don\u2019t want to run out of sunscreen, so arrive prepared with SPF50+ and know you need to reapply multiple times per day. Australians take sun safety very seriously and you should too, especially out back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/Outback-australia-MustCreditTourismAustralia-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Outback-australia-MustCreditTourismAustralia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Outback-australia-MustCreditTourismAustralia-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Outback-australia-MustCreditTourismAustralia.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Tourism Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lip-balm-and-moisturiser\">Lip balm and moisturiser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outback Australia is really dry so you will definitely want to pack a face moisturiser and good lip balm to stay supple.
