Explore the Sacred Heart of Australia: ULURU to ULURU tour camping SWAG 4 days 3 night 

We recommend to bring:

• Comfortable walking shoes: Perfect for hikes through the rugged Outback terrain.
• Sun protection: A wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses are a must under the Australian sun.
• Water bottle (at least 2 liters): Staying hydrated is essential in the Red Centre.
• Clothing layers: Pack lightweight clothes for the day and warmer layers for cooler nights. During winter (June to August), temperatures can drop to 0°C (32°F) overnight, so a jacket or warm clothing is essential.
• Long-sleeve shirts and pants: These will protect you from the sun and keep you comfortable during hikes.
• Towel and toiletries: A compact towel and your personal essentials will come in handy.
• Camera or phone (with a charger): You’ll want to capture the breathtaking landscapes and magical sunsets. A power bank is also helpful for charging on the go.
• Money: Bring cash or card for meals not included and optional activities during the trip.

  Optional:
  

• Sleep sheet: Great for staying cool during warmer months.
• Earplugs: Handy if you’re a light sleeper in shared or outdoor settings.

  
  Luggage Limit: Please pack light and practical!

• Luggage allowance: A maximum of 15 kg is allowed, which includes one small soft-sided bag and a day pack. Hard-sided or framed suitcases are not recommended as they are difficult to store and may damage equipment.
• Day pack: A smaller bag for carrying daily essentials like water, camera, sunscreen, and a jacket while exploring.
• Excess luggage: If your trip starts and ends in the same location, most hotels can store your luggage until your return. If not, consider shipping your extra belongings ahead.

The Outback is full of surprises, from warm sunny days to chilly desert nights. Packing a mix of clothing and essentials will ensure you’re ready for every part of this unforgettable adventure.

While your tour covers many essentials, here are a few things to plan for:

• Drinks: Soft drinks, alcohol, and other beverages are not included, so feel free to bring your favourites along.
