Perth Packing List Tips by Gwynneth

Sun Screen SPF 15+ or Burn! Sunscreen Review

Luggage and bags: There is so much to see however there are large distances to travel... think about bringing a small backpak style bag so you can travel hands free.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: You will most definitely need a hat and shirt/top with sleeves when you are stepping outside for a day of exploring. We see so many visitors to Australia with severe sunburn because they dont realise how harsh the sun is here.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sun screen SPF 15+ or higher is recommended when ever you are outside and enjoying the great outdoors. The sun and wind in Australia are unforgiving.

Also, DON'T FORGET your water bottle and sunnies! ENJOY!

Photo Equipment: Western Australia is so unique you'd be seriously kicking yourself if you finally got here and found that you'd left your camera behind! If that has be your misfortune there are plenty of places with disposable cameras for sale. Just check out Chemists and Food Shops in most large shopping centres.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Western Australia has some of the best beaches in Australia... so make sure you bring your swim suit, hat and sunscreen!

Miscellaneous: This is a typical warning given to us as a standard:
"Wear a broad-brimmed hat, a shirt with a collar and sleeves, and 15+ broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen on exposed areas of skin. Try to avoid the sun during the middle of the day, between 10:00-14:00 (11:00-15:00 in daylight saving time), when the ultraviolet rays are at their strongest."
