I’m getting close to packing! Trying to decide between two pairs of black shoes: a fabric loafer-type one with good support that’s easy to slip on and off in airports. Or a nubuck tie shoe that’s very comfortable but doesn’t look especially fashionable. But I can spray it to make it water resistant. I guess my question for previous travelers on this trip - is water resistance important, especially in New Zealand?

    It is quite likely that you will encounter rain in both Australia and New Zealand. We took this tour in September. It rained one late afternoon/evening in Sydney and a couple of times in New Zealand. I was glad to have good, sturdy, waterproof walking shoes (in addition to pumps for evenings when walking was not involved). We walked a lot whenever we had free time, including in the rain. The shoes were also easily wiped clean from the red dirt at Uluru.

    Agree. This trip is very informal and above advice is perfect.
