General, Brisbane

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: An umbrella can be handy as afternoon storms can pop out of nowhere.
It is only slightly chilly even in Winter in Brisbane although the city can have some cold wind tunnels in some streets. So bring a jacket or jumper in June July August but in summer the heat is more of a problem so dress cool.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Like anywhere you go in Australia regardless of season, bring your sunblock and your sunnies (it doesn't matter if they are designer sunglasses or not as long as it will protect your eyes from the sun)!!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It is always a good idea to wear a hat and carry plenty of drinking water in summer.

In summer we get a lot of sudden storms, so it's always a good idea to carry an umbrella, poncho or raincoat, just in case.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sun protection is a must when you visit Brisbane.It is such a coastal city everywhere you turn there is a beach. Australia has a very high risk factor of skin cancer .... Please play it safe and drink lots and lots of water.

Luggage and bags: What you need will depend on the type of travel you plan to do. Anything from a backpack to a suitcase is fine.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If you're travelling in summer, you'll need a good supply of cool clothing. The weather can be hot and humid so shorts, t-shirts and singlet tops are the best way to go. Some nights in summer can be cooler so some jeans/long pants and a light sweater may be useful. Also pack some cool, comfortable shoes or sandals - you'll be a lot more comfortable in the summer heat. Summer is also known for thunderstorms, so bring an umbrella or some wet weather gear if you'll be outdoors. A hat and sunglasses are also important.
Spring and autumn (fall) are more mild, with warm days and cooler nights. A mixture of long pants and shorts with t-shirts and a jacket should be enough. Some closed in shoes as well as sandals will also be useful.

Winter can get cool, with the minimum temp sometimes reaching 2 degrees C in the early morning (the mountain areas get much cooler). Bring some warm jumpers/jackets, a scarf, some good shoes and something to cover your head. Some t-shirts would also be useful for warmer days.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunblock is a must for Queensland weather, particularly if you're skin isn't used to powerful sun. It can take less than 10 minutes to get burnt here, and you often don't notice until hours later. Sunburn and the summer heat is a nightmare so be prepared to pack on the sunblock. If you'll be outdoors, especially in humid/ damp areas, insect repellant is also important. Moisturiser is useful if you're outdoors a lot. If you'll be hiking, bring some salt for the leeches, as well as some bandaids, antiseptic cream, and basic first aid supplies, particularly if you'll be away from shopping areas, where toiletries and medical supplies are readily available.

Photo Equipment: There is an endless supply of scenery to photograph in Australia, ranging from beaches to deserts to rainforests. If you're going to remote areas, I'd advise you bring extra batteries/ tapes/ film for your camera. Be aware that some areas will be very hot and humid, which may have an effect on photographic equipment.

Miscellaneous: Brisbane has a fabulous truly comfortable sub-tropical climate ideal for outdoor enjoyment all-year round that averages 245 days of fine and sunny weather each year. Brisbane has an average rainfall of about 1400mm annually, the majority of which falls in the summer period. Daytime temperatures on the coastal strip are generally in the twenties (Centigrade). In winter clear skies and drier air are associated with cool nights and light frosts may occasionally occur, especially in the mountains.

Luggage and bags: You will not need a big bag (see below). I stayed 2 months only having packed a medium sized sports bag.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Light clothing is recommended in general: shorts, t-shirts, sandals and the like. You might also want to take a jumper if you are visting in winter (May, June, July and August for the southern hemisphere!). In late summer (February and March) there is a rainy season, so take a light waterproof jacket.

Be sure to take a hat with a brim or a baseball cap, and sunglasses: these items are essential and not just fashion accessories.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunblock, sunblock and sunblock. And maybe some insect repellant.
