What should I pack when moving to Wollongong?
We asked people living in Wollongong to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Wollongong, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a temperate climate, including both warm and cool weather attire. Don't forget to pack your swimwear, as Wollongong has beautiful beaches. It's also a good idea to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the Australian sun. If you're planning on working or studying, pack appropriate attire for your profession or academic institution. Remember to bring any necessary work or study materials, such as laptops, textbooks, or professional equipment. Pack all your essential toiletries, including toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and any personal hygiene items you use daily. If you take prescription medication, ensure you have enough to last until you can arrange a new prescription in Australia. Bring your important documents, such as passport, visa documents, driver's license, and any other identification. It's also wise to bring copies of any important medical records or prescriptions. If you have a favorite gadget or hobby equipment, like a camera or a musical instrument, pack that too. These items can help you feel more at home in your new surroundings. Lastly, consider packing a few personal items that remind you of home, such as photos or mementos. These can help ease any homesickness and make your new place feel more comfortable," remarked another expat who made the move to Wollongong, Australia.
