City advice
What to pack
Warm layers are essential
Make sure you don't forget to pack thermal layers, gloves and a beanie. A good quality weatherproof jacket is essential as are hiking boots or similar.
Book before you go
Book in advance
Things book out quickly here. If there are places you want to eat, activities you want to do, try to book them well in advance. Restaurants, ski lessons, etc will usually be exhausted prior to your arrival.
Getting around
Take advantage of the ski tube
If you aren't confident driving in hazardous conditions, don't have a 4wd or know how to fit car chains, just use the ski tube to access Thredbo or Perisher in the winter time.
Customs and culture
Be alert for wildlife
We are blessed to be surrounded by nature here but it also means that there is a high risk of wildlife on roads. Most are out and about at dawn and dusk, so be extra vigilant then. If you see injured wildlife please report them to Laoko on 02 64561313.
