# What to bring to linux.conf.au

- *Laptop, phone, camera, chargers etc* - most people bring a laptop, tablet etc. Free WiFi is available. Many Delegates enjoy hacking, coding and developing together at linux.conf.au.
- *Sunscreen, sunglasses and a water bottle* - Hobart, although coastal, can have high summer temperatures. Even if the weather is cool, UV exposure will still be high. The conference venue is at Sandy Bay with a beach nearby, feel free to bring swimming gear.
- *Clothes and toiletries* - the conference venue is a short bus ride away from Hobart CBD, so you'll be OK if you forget anything. Remember to bring any medication you may need. Please note that you cannot fill a prescription for schedule 4 or higher drugs that was issued in any other state of Australia in Tasmania.
- *Identification and, if international, your passport*- for registration purposes, we may need to see identification, and if you're a student, we'll need to see your student card. Hobart has plenty of beer, and in accordance with liquor laws, you may be asked for ID to be served alcohol.
- *Cash or card* - you will likely have some incidental expenses during the conference. There's an ATM at the conference venue, and most nearby venues take card.
- *An appetite* - Hobart has a magnificent range of eateries and restaurants all within walking distance.
