Copy of all Certificates/Documents (originals in hand baggage)
Some necessary stationery and related items suggested (airmail covers, Indian postal stamps etc)
Medical history files
You can carry some necessary vessels if you intend to cook yourself.
Some dry food stuff for initial few weeks
Summer is pretty hot, shorts and T-shirts are the normal, with a good pair of sneakers (sports shoes). Jeans are standard. A couple or more of decent trousers and dress shirts and a pair of formal shoes. Also, one or two traditional Indian dresses for guys and saris for the ladies. Chappals/sandals and slippers. Bring lots of underwear as people do laundry once every 1 or 2 weeks. Clothes do not get dirty or soiled easily over here. It's upto the individual how much he or she wants to bring, the above is just a minimum.
Winter is very cold, normally people dress in 2-3 layers. A t-shirt, with a sweat-shirt on top, and then a thick coat or a jacket. This suffices even on the coldest days. Bring at least one sweater and one thick jacket/coat. Do not buy heavy leather jackets. If you want to bring one then buy a light weight jacket. Bring a suit if you want to. It can be very helpful in some cases.
Things to be kept in Hand Baggage
Medicines,
Novels/magazines/books for in-flight reading
Sweater
Original important documents
Enough money (little cash, travelers' checks)
Address book/phone book (Indian & Australian)
Copies of your photo (passport size)
Enlisted steps to be followed in case of emergency (accident, theft, etc)
Things to survive for a week in case luggage gets misplaced (two sets of clothes, valuables like calculator etc).
Things to be kept with you
Receipt got along with travelers' checks - in case you lose the TC's
Contact addresses - especially of people coming to pick you up.
Things to be left at home
List of addresses/phone numbers at which info about you can be obtained
Copy of all your important documents, a copy of all relevant parts of Medical History files, arrange to collect/redirect mail from your room/hostel, Arrange to apply/collect/mail your transcripts (about 20 in number preferable), your tailoring measurements, a few blank signed papers - so that your parents can be authorized to look after anything on your behalf.
Things to be done in the last week before the flight
Call up & find if there is any delay or change of schedule of the plane
Inform the people coming to pick you up of any such change
Rest well - ready to face the long journey/jet lag bid bye to all concerns.
On the day of the flight - in-flight + later
Since it is going to be a long flight wear something comfortable (cotton dress + full hand shirt).
Wear your shoes - in-flight you can remove them (some airlines give in-flight shoes - else relax in socks),
Be at the airport 3-4 hours before flight departure, collect AUD$20 at the airport (part of it in $1)
Relax during flight, sleep as much as possible
For vegetarians - watch out before you eat - you may get non-veg even if you had asked for veg.
Veg. food is generally bland - fruits/juice are good choices. (Before ordering anything on board check if you have to pay for it separately for it).
Don't hesitate to ask questions. Once out of India be very careful (from sheer experience of seniors). Don't trust anyone.
Don't hire a taxi (unless emergency) till you reach your destination. If required don't hesitate to spend money. Don't hesitate to talk to people to ask questions - usually they will answer all your queries properly.
