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!!

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!

Recent Tips
Some other suggestions, although not necessary - Travel pillow, chewing gum (especially for those who have ear problems during flight), book and/or ipod and one change of clothing (air lines do lose luggage occasionally)
I bought a high sierra duffel bag - it has a zip down panel on the back and you can pull out the back pack straps…I also have a laptop back pack…
I went alone last summer (06). I met some wonderful people…I liked it so much, that I am going on the London + Paris trip next week (alone again).
