Cum folosești biletul

An all year round recommendation, and especially during the summer months is to bring a hat, sunscreen and some bottled water
Another all year round summer / winter definite recommendation is to bring your swimming gear - swimmers, towel and a change of clothes is essential for an excellent day out as you will get the opportunity to swim at Millaa Millaa Falls. During the summer it's just so refreshing and during the winter it's 'invigorating' - not to be missed!
During autumn, winter and spring it is recommended that you bring a jacket as the Tablelands can be quiet cool early in the morning, and still hot enough for swimming later in the day
If rain is on the forecast an umbrella or rain jacket is handy
A must is your camera with spare batteries and enough room on the memory card
Some spare change as you will visit gift shops with mostly locally made products

Hotel pickups commence prior to this time, you must contact the local service provider to verify your exact pickup time.
