What should I pack when moving to Geelong?
We asked people living in Geelong to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Geelong, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for different weather conditions, including lightweight clothing for the summer, warmer clothing for the winter, and rain gear for the occasional rainy day. Don't forget to pack your swimwear, as Geelong has beautiful beaches. Pack your essential documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, medical records, and insurance documents. If you're moving for work or study, remember to bring any necessary employment or educational documents. Bring your electronics, including your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. An adapter or converter may be necessary as Australia uses Type I electrical plugs. Pack your toiletries, prescription medications, and any other personal care items you use daily. However, keep in mind that you can also purchase these items once you arrive in Geelong. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair and your prescription. Pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items from home, especially if they might be hard to find in Australia. Bring personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books. Lastly, if you're planning to drive in Geelong, consider bringing your own GPS or navigation system, as it can be helpful for finding your way around a new city," remarked another expat who made the move to Geelong, Australia.
