What should I pack when moving to Gold Coast?

We asked people living in Gold Coast to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Gold Coast, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for warm, tropical weather, including lightweight shirts, shorts, and dresses. Don't forget your swimwear, as the Gold Coast is famous for its beautiful beaches. A hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen are also essential to protect yourself from the strong Australian sun. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city and flip-flops or sandals for the beach. If you plan on hiking in the nearby national parks, consider packing sturdy hiking boots and a reusable water bottle. You should also bring any necessary prescription medications, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first-aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic cream, and pain relievers. Don't forget your electronics, such as your phone, laptop, and camera, along with the necessary chargers and adapters. Australia uses Type I electrical plugs, so you may need an adapter if your devices use a different type. Lastly, pack important documents like your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or immigration paperwork. It's also a good idea to have a copy of your health insurance information and any other important identification," said a member in Gold Coast, Australia.
