Sun and Clothing

Sun Safety
The Australian sun is extremely strong, especially between 10am and 3pm.

It is recommended to wear a broad-brimmed hat and a shirt with collar and sleeves, apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (or higher) sunscreen and wear sunglasses.

Avoid the sun between 10am and 3pm (including cloudy days) and drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

Clothing
Ensure you wear appropriate footwear such as sturdy boots and socks in outback and rainforest areas. Reefwalking also requires sturdy footwear.

Warm clothing is necessary in some hinterland and outback regions, as temperatures drop to below 0ºC at night (winter months June - August).
