What to bring on your exotic vacation

Most Australians dress informally, although reasonable dress standards are maintained in restaurants, hotels and bars. Smart casual clothing is required in most resorts after 6.00pm. Lightweight clothing is suitable all year round. However, it's still advisable to bring something warm to slip on, as the temperature drops at night during winter. To ensure adequate protection from the sun it is recommended that you bring a broad-brimmed hat, SPF 30+ sunscreen, sunglasses and a long sleeved shirt with a collar. Suitable comfortable footwear should also be on hand for walks along the beaches and islands.

Beach Safety: Queensland has some of the world's best beaches. However, care and caution should be exercised at all times. To ensure you have a safe and secure exotic vacation, please remember to swim between the red and yellow flags and listen to the instructions from lifesavers and lifeguards.
