What should I pack when moving to Port Douglas?
We asked people living in Port Douglas to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Port Douglas, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a tropical climate, including lightweight, breathable fabrics, swimwear, and a rain jacket for the wet season. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong Australian sun. Insect repellent is also a must-have due to the presence of mosquitoes. You should also consider packing a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the beautiful surroundings, and a pair of flip-flops for the beach. If you plan on snorkeling or diving in the Great Barrier Reef, you might want to bring your own gear, although it can also be rented locally. Remember to bring any prescription medications you need, along with copies of your prescriptions. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit. If you're planning on working or studying, don't forget to pack your necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any work or study permits. Lastly, bring any personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes," commented one expat who made the move to Port Douglas, Australia.
