Clothing and Essentials:
Pack light, comfortable clothing, and also include swimwear, a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses for beach activities at Rottnest Island. A reusable water bottle is recommended to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Health and Safety:
It's essential to wear sunscreen due to the strong sun in Australia. If you're cycling on Rottnest Island, remember to wear a helmet and follow the road rules.

Australians are generally relaxed and informal. However, it's important to remember to respect local customs and ecological preservation efforts, particularly when interacting with wildlife on Rottnest Island, like the famous quokkas.
