Default Anyone have any last minute travel tips on going to Australia?

I'm off in two weeks and am having a last minute worry about what to take with me. I'm doing some conservation work whilst i'm out there and also planning to go on a three day trek.
Anyone have any tips on what to take?

Waterless cleansing wipes (for the face/body), sunblock, insect repellent, ziploc bags, bandanas (several), sunglasses, a good ventilated sun hat, travel underwear (hand wash/quick-dry), lip balm with sun protection, blister plasters, and tweezers.

Have fun!

It depends where in Australia you are going. If your three day trek is in the NSW or Victorian mountains, you will need cold weather gear and be prepared for snow. If it is in the tropics, you will need a good hat and sunblock. Australia is a big place, bigger than the USA (without Alaska), and has a large range of climates.

My mother once gave me some very sensible advice when I was going through this exercise of last minute worrying - "It's a civilised place. If you forgot it you can buy it."

It makes travelling a little less worrying if you remember that.

Many visitors from the US and Europe arrive in June/July and are surprised to discover that it is both cold and wet here in the southern half of Australia at that time of year. Make sure you have some warm clothing, and something waterproof for your trekking, and she'll be apples.

We do have stores here, so you will be able to buy anything that you forget. Don't stress too much about what you pack, and enjoy your visit.

It is very important to check customs regulation in Australia. They are quite strict!

You can find the complete list here....
