More Tour and Travel Advice for Australia

by – Tash, Tour Manager, Australia and Europe

Although everyone loves a great tan…many of people do not realise how harsh the Australian sun is. Make sure you wear sunscreen…SPF 30 is good. I have seen people ruin their holidays by roasting themselves and then getting terrible burns! So slip, slop, slap!!

  1. Please remember this advice!!
    I’m also an Australian and have just come back from Europe. I was amazed at how different the sun is over once outside of Australia. That hole in the ozone layer right above our country makes a huge difference.
    Also remember to reaply sunscreen throughout your day too!
