    WHAT TO BRING

    In the southern parts of Western Australia, the

    weather can become quite cool in winter so

    warmer clothing such as jumpers and long pants

    are required.

    Travelling in the outback is more comfortable in

    jeans or similar practical clothing and walking

    shoes. To ensure adequate protection from the sun

    we suggest you bring a broad-brimmed hat, SPF

    30+ sunscreen, sunglasses and a long sleeved

    shirt with a collar.

    DRIVING

    In remote parts of Western Australia gravel roads

    can be hazardous so driving slowly is

    recommended. With plenty of wildlife, be watchful

    for these roaming animals. The wildlife is more

    active around dusk and dawn so be mindful of their

    unpredictable nature and drive at a slower speed.

    BEACH SAFETY

    Australia has some of the worlds best beaches,

    however care and caution should be exercised at

    all times. Please remember to swim between thered and yellow flags and listen to instructions from

    lifesavers and lifeguards.
