Be Safe in the Surf

Australian beaches are magic - they're clean and big and free ... but
they can also be very dangerous. Here are some basic precautions to
help you enjoy your time at the beach:

Do:
· Swim on patrolled beaches, between the red and yellow flags
· Comply with the directions of lifesavers
· Watch children constantly when they're in the water
· Take plenty of fresh drinking water to the beach
· Protect yourself from the sun
· Remain calm; if you get into trouble in the water, don't panic.
Raise your arm for help, float and wait for assistance
· Float with a current or undertow. Stay calm. Signal for help and
wait for assistance.

Don't:
- Swim among sharks, crocodiles, box jellyfish, Irukandji jellyfish, blue-ringed
octopus, sea snakes, stone fish, scorpion fish and stingrays



Sea snakes get some bad press you know. Though undoubtedly dodgy, you
really have to get in one's face before it does the nasty.
