Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Slip on a shirt, Slop on some sunscreen and Slap on a hat and sunglasses!! Most Aussies have grown up with this message, and this message should be taken even more serious on the Gold Coast, because of our outdoor lifestyle.
Depending on where you are staying and what time of the year you come to the Gold Coast, it will affect what you should bring.
Most of the time all you will wear is, singlets (sleeveless tops) or t-shirts, shorts, skirts and swimwear.
If you are staying in the Hinterland or are coming in winter, you should definitely bring along some warmer clothes with you, like a tracksuit or a jacket and a pair of jeans.
You will be required to wear long pants or jeans and closed in shoes in most nightclubs, regardless of the temperature outside.
Comfortable shoes are a must if you plan on going hiking through our national parks. Thongs or sandles are great for the warmer months, or for walking on or near the beach, if you don't already have pair you can buy these from anywhere here.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: 15+ Sunscreen is a must if you going out into the sun. Also, pack some insect repellant as we have alot of mosquito's and midges in some areas, especially in Summer!
Miscellaneous: Make sure that you bring a hat or cap and sunglasses with UV protection, for when you are out in the sun. Also, bring a rain coat or umbrella, Summer tends to have some thunderstorms.
