Traveller tips

Make sure to pack sunscreen and a hat as the Australian sun can be strong. It's a good idea to book accommodation near the beach to enjoy easy access to the water. Be mindful of the surf conditions and always swim between the flags at the beach. Take advantage of the local markets for unique souvenirs and fresh produce. Don't forget to try some of the local seafood dishes for a taste of the region.
