Eco-friendly travel
- Tap water is safe to drink. Bring a refillable bottle.
- Use reef-safe sunscreen and never touch coral on the Great Barrier Reef.
- Choose eco-certified tours.
- Never feed wildlife: kangaroos, koalas and birds get sick.
- Drive carefully at dawn and dusk: animals cross roads.
- Water is precious: short showers, especially in the outback.
