How should I pack toiletries in my cabin bag when flying to Australia?
Keep any liquids in your cabin bag in containers of 100 ml or less and place them in a clear, resealable bag so you meet airport security rules. Carry only enough toiletries for your first few weeks, since most items are easy to buy in Australia.

Cabin bag rules
- Liquids go in containers of 100 ml or less.
- Place them in a clear, resealable bag.
- Skip large bottles and months of supplies, since you can restock at supermarkets or pharmacies.
My Advice
Put your clear liquids bag at the top of your cabin bag so you can take it out quickly at security. Bigger bottles are better placed in checked baggage or bought after arrival.
