Since spurts of very warm weather are equally common, dress in layers so you can easily
adjust to any sudden temperature shifts.
• Footwear: You’ll be on your feet a lot during the trip, and walking over some rough and
slippery surfaces. Look for shoes with excellent ventilation as well as arch and ankle
support. Sport sandals, boating shoes, or beach footwear are useful in some locations like
Sydney beaches.
Style Hints
• New Zealand and Australia are essentially sportswear countries, with dress on our trip
being functional and casual.
• Don’t forget a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses for protection against the sun. Good
walking shoes are a must.
• Smart casual clothing is accepted wear for Sydney Opera House performances.
