 * //__PACKING INFORMATION FOR AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND:__ //**

**General Advice: ** Less is Best. We’re on an educational adventure. We will not be checking any luggage on our way to Australia. You will have the option to check a bag on the return flight. You must be able to carry/wheel your bags easily throughout the airport and be able to carry them up a few flights of stairs.


 * Weather: ** Typical June weather in Australia and New Zealand could vary depending on our location. However, you should expect temps to be anywhere from mid 40's to low 70's

- Small backpack or personal bag - Carry-on sized wheeled bag or travel backpack (You must be able to carry it up 3 flights of stairs)  - 9 x 14 x 22 inches - Money Neck Pouch or Waist Belt - Extra nylon bag for trip home?
