Packing Tips for Newcastle's Climate and Housing

Newcastle's coastal climate and older housing stock call for specific packing choices:



• Begin packing well in advance to avoid last-minute stress. Pack non-essential items first and leave daily-use items for last.
• Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper and strong tape to protect your belongings during transit.
• Mark each box with its contents and the designated room in the new location. This makes unpacking easier and more efficient.
• Wrap breakables individually and use padding to prevent movement inside boxes. Clearly label boxes containing fragile items.
• Remove legs from tables, dismantle bed frames and secure loose parts to save space and prevent damage.
• Use moisture-resistant wrapping for wooden furniture and electronics against coastal humidity
• Double-box fragile items with bubble wrap for protection through Newcastle's varied terrain
• Pack heavier items in smaller boxes to manage weight on stairs in older suburbs
• Wrap mattresses and upholstered furniture in plastic against unexpected rain during loading
