Sunblock and sunscreen
Looking at sunscreen in Tesco just now - do people think it's probably a better idea to wait and buy it when we get to Oz?
The UK stuff is very low factor and am not sure about the UVA/UVB protection....
Don't want to start off looking like a lobster!

When you get there go to the Slip Slap shop, the suncream is sold in great big 5 litre bottles and much stronger!
