Packing list for Your Tasmanian & Sydney Tours

February is summer in Australia, and you can expect mostly warm to hot weather — around 20–30°C (68–86°F) in Sydney. Tasmania is usually a little cooler, ranging from 12–24°C (54–75°F), and is famous for its “four seasons in a day.” It’s best to bring layers and be prepared for sunshine, cool evenings, and the occasional shower. You’ll want clothing and shoes that are comfortable for travel and outdoor exploring, along with something a little dressier for our fine dining experiences. Australians generally have a relaxed, casual attitude toward dressing up for dinner, so think smart-casual rather than formal.
