The Australian sun is very harsh and you should also consider clothing that protects you from sunburn.
Label your suitcase inside and out with your name and your home address and perhaps attach a sticker, ribbon, patch or other unique identifier to your luggage to make it easier to spot.
Carry a copy of your passport, visas, travel and other important documents as well as your travellers cheque numbers (if you use them) with you in your luggage. You should also leave a copy of all this information at home with someone trusted and contactable while you are away.
Don’t pack your travel documents and passport in your luggage, rather take it with you in your carry luggage.
Tours to the Northern Territory
On tours traveling to the Northern Territory you should also consider packing:
- Hiking shoes or trainers – there is a lot of walking to be done in the outback
- A hat and water bottle – to help deal with the desert heat
- Clothes that can get dirty – the red dirt of the desert can make white clothes dirty very quickly

Not in details, but you need durable, lightweight and comfortable travel sandals with you. Blisters is something you least expect during your journey. Except winters in certain region in Australia, travel sandals is your best companion. www.etailshack.com

A tip for people looking for a decent coffee shop.. if you don't already know about it, you will because most Contiki travellers find out about it - its The Grasshopper. Ask a local and they should be able to tell you where to find it.
The absolute best hike in Zion is Angel's Landing, it ends on a table top overlook 2000 feet above the valley floor...
My advice would be to do as many excursions as you can. They are a great way to get to know your group, and they are always good fun.
