Here are the liquid rules: (from the Singapore Airline website)



Flights to and from Australia

New rules on what is permitted in cabin baggage will take effect from 31 March 2007. The regulations will affect customers flying to and from Australia. You are advised to pack your cabin baggage accordingly so as to avoid unnecessary inconvenience.

The restrictions cover the following:

*
all liquids including beverages, soups and syrups
*
gels, including hair and shower gels
*
pastes, including toothpastes
*
creams, lotions and oils
*
contents of aerosol cans, including sprays, shaving foam, deodorants
*
mascara
*
liquid-solid mixtures
*
any other item of similar consistency

Specific regulations:

*
all items mentioned above will only be allowed in cabin baggage if they are kept in containers with volumes of not more than 100 ml each.
*
These containers must be carried in a clear, re-sealable plastic bag. The total volume of the bag must not exceed 1 litre.
*
Each person is allowed to carry only one such plastic bag.
*
The bag must be removed from cabin baggage and presented to security personnel at the checkpoint for separate x-ray screening.

Medications and special dietary requirements, including baby formula:

*
Are permitted in cabin baggage but amount allowable will be determined by the screening personnel
*
may be subject to additional security checks

Duty-free purchases:

*
Customers who are flying out of Australia may carry items purchased from Australian duty free shops.
*
For flights departing Singapore, duty free items are allowed into Australia provided these items are purchased on board or are delivered by duty free staff to the gate-hold room in a sealed bag.
*
Customers who are entering Australia via transit in Singapore will NOT be allowed to carry duty free items purchased from previous sectors.

Passengers may still carry on board the things they would normally take in carry-on baggage, such as cameras; personal music devices; books; and clothing.
