As always, remember to keep the weather in mind when going. Make sure you're prepared for the elements, particularly heat. Cover up as much as possible including sunscreen. If you forget sunscreen then St John usually has some for a gold coin donation at their treatment center. Drink plenty of water if it is hot. There're usually drinking water stations and misters around the venue. Also, I can't stress enough to remember to pack usual medication, particularly ventolin puffers, etc. A pharmacy is on site for minor medications. St John first aiders will be available for minor medical issues and there're always nurses/paramedics on site for the more serious stuff but preparation usually prevents the need for them.
WomAd is usually my favorite time of the Adelaide calender.
