Adventure Tips
Wear sturdy walking shoes
Comfortable, durable footwear is essential as you may need to step on uneven or rocky surfaces during stops.
Bring sun protection
An open-air vehicle means direct sunlight exposure—wear a hat and sunscreen even on cloudy days.
Carry a light rain jacket or umbrella
Weather in the Blue Mountains can change quickly, so be prepared for sudden showers.
Secure your camera gear
The open sides expose your equipment to dust and bumps; use straps or cases to keep gear safe.
