What should I pack when moving to Newcastle?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Newcastle, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for warm summers and mild winters, including swimwear for the beach and sturdy shoes for outdoor activities. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong Australian sun. You may also want to bring a raincoat or umbrella, as Newcastle can experience rainfall throughout the year. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be more expensive or hard to find in Australia. Similarly, if you have favorite toiletries or over-the-counter medications, it might be worth bringing a supply with you. Remember to pack all necessary documents, such as your passport, visa paperwork, driver's license, and any medical records or prescriptions. If you're bringing electronics, you may need to pack a power adapter, as Australia uses a different plug type than many other countries. Lastly, consider packing some sentimental items, like photos or small mementos, to help make your new place feel like home," remarked another expat who made the move to Newcastle, Australia.
