We asked people living in Sydney to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"Wish I had brought good shoes, kids' cotton clothing and rolls of Bounty! Should've left behind the heavy winter coats," wrote a member who made the move to Sydney, Australia.

"When moving to Sydney, it is important to pack items to keep you comfortable and secure. Think about a mixture of items such as clothing suitable for the climate, practical items for your home, and a few special treats. In terms of clothing, make sure to include light and breathable pieces such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals. As Sydney has a humid climate, a few rain jackets, waterproof shoes, and umbrellas may come in handy. In terms of home items, include basic kitchenware, linens and towels, soap, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and a toolkit. Additionally, don’t forget to pack a few items to make yourself feel cozy and at home in your new city such as artwork, photographs, and books. Finally, don’t forget to include items to explore the city like a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a reusable water bottle," explained one expat living in Sydney, Australia, Australia.
