Power adapter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On your Australia and New Zealand packing list be sure to include a power adapter. Luckily the two countries down under use the same three-prong power plug so you will only need the one adapter in your suitcase. If you forget to pop one of these in? Well, say goodbye to a charged phone, camera battery and other electronic devices. An adaptor is truly an essential!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-towel\">2. Towel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We think travelling with a towel is an absolute essential. If you\u2019re at the beach, you need a towel. If you have an impromptu picnic, you can sit on the towel. If you get cold, you can wrap the towel around you. One item, many uses beyond drying yourself after a swim. If you don\u2019t like the feeling of microfiber towels, look for a thin Turkish cotton towel that dries equally as fast (and looks cuter on the sand).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-hat\">3. Hat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to deciding what to pack for Australia, look at your itinerary and you\u2019ll see that likely, you&#8217;ll be spending a lot of time outdoors. And time outdoors calls for a hat. The same goes in New Zealand, where while the climate is more temperate&nbsp;the sun is still just as powerful, so you&#8217;ll need to protect your face from those harmful UV rays.<\/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-4-walking-shoes\">4. Walking shoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia is a country of wide open plains, wide city streets and large swathes of nature to explore. You\u2019ll notice while planning your New Zealand trip that the smaller neighbouring country is quite the same. To make the most of your time in each country be sure to pack great walking shoes that can take you from the top of an amazing lookout to downtown Sydney or Auckland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/06\/new-zealand-fiordland-national-park-kepler-track-fjord.jpg\" alt=\"fiordland national park trips and tramps\" class=\"wp-image-20699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/new-zealand-fiordland-national-park-kepler-track-fjord.jpg 910w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/new-zealand-fiordland-national-park-kepler-track-fjord-330x188.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>GET INSPIRED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/new-zealand-uncovered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Zealand Uncovered<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-bathers\">5. Bathers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have noticed while planning your Australia and New Zealand trip that both countries are islands surrounded by incredible beaches. In the summertime you\u2019ll want bathers or a swimsuit to dive into the glorious ocean, waterholes and waterfalls across both countries, and in winter you\u2019ll want to pack them to enjoy the hot pools and thermal spots around New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-jacket\">6. Jacket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Australia and New Zealand packing list should always include a jacket of some sort. In summer, the southern parts of Australia and all of New Zealand feel quite cool in the evenings so pack a light jacket or sweater to feel cosy. In winter, you might like to bring a ski jacket or warm feather-down jacket to combat the winter temperatures depending on where you plan to visit and what you plan to do.<\/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\/Victoria-Australia-MustCreditTourismAustralia1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring nature in Victoria, Australia\" class=\"wp-image-25100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Victoria-Australia-MustCreditTourismAustralia1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Victoria-Australia-MustCreditTourismAustralia1-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Victoria-Australia-MustCreditTourismAustralia1.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Tourism Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/differences-between-australia-and-new-zealand\/\"><em><strong>7 of the main differences between Australia and New Zealand<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-water-bottle\">7. Water bottle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are your trip to Australia and New Zealand will be quite active and you\u2019ll spend lots of time outdoors, even in winter. In summer it is definitely essential to carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated while on the road. In parks and towns around both countries you will find water fountains or water \u201cbubblers\u201d where you can refill. Water is safe to drink from the taps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-thongs-or-jandals\">8. Thongs or jandals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning a trip to Australia? Pack thongs. Planning a trip to New Zealand? Pack jandals. Not sure what either of those items are? No problem. That\u2019s the local slang for flip flops and the rubber footwear is immensely popular in both countries. Flip flips are great for the beach, but also to pop out for coffee, go to the shops or wade into a rocky creek.<\/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\/\/2020\/12\/jandals-flipflops-thongs-unsplash-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/jandals-flipflops-thongs-unsplash-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/jandals-flipflops-thongs-unsplash-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/jandals-flipflops-thongs-unsplash.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-active-clothing\">9. Active clothing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall your packing list for Australia and New Zealand will be determined by the season you travel in and the places you go, but either way you will definitely need some clothing for outdoor adventures. In summer that might just mean a pair of shorts for walking beachside trails or visiting a wildlife park. In winter that might mean thermal tights and a windbreaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>GET INSPIRED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/outback-adventure\">Outback Adventure<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-something-chic\">10. Something chic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the bigger cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland people like to dress up to go out for long lunches, dinners or day trips to wineries. When it comes to deciding what to pack for Australia or New Zealand, pop in a nice dress, shirt or outfit that makes you feel good so you can fit in and feel like a local while enjoying the food and wine scene.<\/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\/Victoria-Australia-winery-MustCreditTourismAustralia-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Winery in Victoria, Australia\" class=\"wp-image-25102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Victoria-Australia-winery-MustCreditTourismAustralia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Victoria-Australia-winery-MustCreditTourismAustralia-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Victoria-Australia-winery-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-11-sunscreen\">11. Sunscreen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Easy to forget, but essential to pack for Australia and New Zealand, sunscreen lotion is an absolute must when heading down under. The sun is very harsh in both countries thanks to an ozone hole, so if you plan to spend more than 20 minutes in the sun, make sure to apply suncream lotion at least SPF30+ and reapply throughout the day. Of course, if you forget to pack this one you can buy it in shops and supermarkets everywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What else is on your Australia and New Zealand packing list?
