Sunscreen: Sun Screen SPF 15+ or Burn!
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is so much to see however there are large distances to travel... think about bringing a small backpak style bag so you can travel hands free.

    You will most definitely need a hat and shirt/top with sleeves when you are stepping outside for a day of exploring. We see so many visitors to Australia with severe sunburn because they dont realise how harsh the sun is here.

    Sun screen SPF 15+ or higher is recommended when ever you are outside and enjoying the great outdoors. The sun and wind in Australia are unforgiving. Also, DON'T FORGET your water bottle and sunnies! ENJOY!

    Western Australia is so unique you'd be seriously kicking yourself if you finally got here and found that you'd left your camera behind! If that has be your misfortune there are plenty of places with disposable cameras for sale. Just check out Chemists and Food Shops in most large shopping centres.

    Western Australia has some of the best beaches in Australia... so make sure you bring your swim suit, hat and sunscreen!

    This is a typical warning given to us as a standard: "Wear a broad-brimmed hat, a shirt with a collar and sleeves, and 15+ broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen on exposed areas of skin. Try to avoid the sun during the middle of the day, between 10:00-14:00 (11:00-15:00 in daylight saving time), when the ultraviolet rays are at their strongest."

    Sunscreen: Necessities
  • Tip Rating:
  • Don't forget to bring a hat and sunglasses in the summer the sun here is very fierce. If you can't abide a hat at least sunnies!!! We are very casual here you don't need to bring lots of clothes for our summer. In winter a light weight rain coat will be sufficient.

    Sunblock you can get burnt in 40c very quickly.

    Don't forget the camera for our beautiful scenery and beaches. There are plenty of film and processing shops here.

    For summer your bathers for our great beaches. Which are not swarming with sharks as many people believe.

  • Perth is HOT! And i really mean hot! You should take t-shirt and bikini there. That are two main things. lol

    Well, i heard there are poisoned spiders there. I havenīt seen one, but better take care. Take something against insects. And you should take sun cream (30+), because the sun there is really strong. If you get burned, buy a Aloe Vera Gel. You can buy it in any pharmacy, and it really helps. If not, try to put yoghurt on your skin. It helps definately!

  • Always bring sunscreen espacially in summer, the sun is so dangerous that you will literally be cooked. It takes only an hour to be sunburnt. I have lived in Perth and i am still prone to getting burnt. Always wear a hat in the sun. as Australian's we are very precautious with this issue as the sun is a big killer of people (cancer)

    I would definatly suggest to bring sunscreen. The sun, especially in summer, can get very hot and before you know it, you are burnt to a crisp!

    Sunscreen: Sunscreen is a MUST
    Sandals/Suitable shoes for the beach. Hiking or other comfortable shoes to explore the outdoors

    Sunscreen is a must, but you can find it everywhere in Perth - pharmacy, department stores, grocery stores etc.

    The price of film is relatively expensive, digital storage material is pretty expensive in Perth as well.

    Speedos are a big no-no in Perth. Most guys wear boardshorts.

    Australia has very strict quarantine laws, so be aware of what's allowed or not. Don't even think of trying to sneak prohibited items in. They will be found. All luggages inbound go through x-ray machines, and like it or not, sniffer dogs are likely to be the first creatures to welcome you off the plane.

    Sunscreen: Suncream
    Bring a bag that doesn't fall apart, otherwise the one you subsequently buy in Perth will have lots of dangly bits hanging off it that catch on everything.

    Bring summer gear with no fear - It's the benign climate that makes over a million people choose to live in this isolated spot.

    Suncream is number one again - it won't take long in sunny Perth to look like a lobster. Then when you eat out at night the lobsters you see in seafood eateries will remind you of it constantly.

    A camera and some film of course.

    A surf board for Cottesloe is not a bad idea. Otherwise the usual cozzie / flip-flops etc.

    Shades: The sun is very bright here.
