The weather in mid-March is similar to California at the end of September with daily highs of 80°F and lows of 60°F. There will be a 20% possibility of rain, so dress in "layers" for the trip as it is likely to be hot when you arrive.

Suggested items to pack include hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, swimsuit and walking shoes or flats for the day trips.

Australians are casual by nature and easily accept typical U.S. clothing styles. The Aussie daytime dress code is smart casual with comfortable walking shoes. Jeans and shorts are quite acceptable.

Our evening restaurant dress code is again smart casual. Please no jeans, caps, coats or ties for the guys. Ladies, comfortable late summer chic with just a little jewelry.
