Flip flops is such a funny name for thongs. Australians wear thongs everywhere, no one worries about ‘infections’ what would be the point of them if we didn’t wear them to bathrooms, public transport etc. Otherwise great article!

In reply to Fernando. Hi Fernando! I would not pack a wet suit, as you will be able to hire it. However I don't know the cost for hiring it. If you are just doing a diving/surfing holiday maybe it's worth packing it, as the cost for hiring it sums up.

Agree with all … but, most importantly, do not forget the hat!

In reply to Anne of Pretraveller. I agree. I experienced a sudden temperatures drop on Kangaroo Island in April. After a sunny, warm day, I got up the following day at 5°C. As bushwalking was planned, I was thankful to have packed high-quality outdoor wear to keep me warm. Nonetheless, my hands were ice-cold, and I could hardly take photos! I wish I could have worn warm gloves on that day!

Thanks for a great article. It is really important for visitors (and locals) to realise that Australia has many contrasting climates and seasons, so you DO actually need to bring warm clothes!

Winter (Jun – Aug) anywhere south of the Tropic of Capricorn gets really cold, and you will still need a jumper for night time in the northern parts of Australia. Summer mostly gets really hot, but I still have fond memories of almost getting hypothermia in Melbourne in mid-summer. The southern states have ‘changes’ which come through which can drop the daytime temperature significantly.

So the recommendation to pack good quality layers is a good one.
