What to pack

Due to restrictions on space in the 4WD’s taking us to Kunbarlanja, baggage is strictly limited to one backpack (maximum 10 kilograms), one computer bag, and one small backpack (maximum 5 kilograms). All bags will be weighed in Darwin and those exceeding these limits will be told to re-pack and donate excess to a local charity. Staff will be happy to assist international students find storage facilities in Darwin for extra baggage required for their stay in Australia.
