What should I pack when moving to Cairns?
We asked people living in Cairns to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Cairns, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to bring a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong Australian sun. A raincoat or umbrella would also be useful as Cairns experiences a wet season. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city and hiking boots if you plan on venturing into the nearby rainforests or national parks. If you're planning on visiting the Great Barrier Reef, you might want to bring your own snorkeling gear, although this can also be rented locally. In terms of electronics, remember to bring a power adapter as Australia uses a different plug type. Also, pack your necessary gadgets like your smartphone, laptop, and camera with their respective chargers. Don't forget to bring important documents such as your passport, visa documents, driver's license, and any necessary medical records or prescriptions. Lastly, pack personal hygiene items and toiletries, although these can also be purchased once you arrive. If you have a preferred brand that might not be available in Australia, it would be a good idea to bring it with you," commented one expat who made the move to Cairns, Australia.
