Beaches can be
dangerous and every year
there are incidents involving
visitors to Australia
. Swim between the red
and yellow flags at all
times and observe the
signs on the beach. If
you see a red flag do
not enter the water,
if you see a yellow flag
swim with caution. Ask
the lifeguards on duty
for information.
Beach safety hints:
1. Always swim at beaches
that are patrolled by
lifesavers
2. Always swim between
the red and yellow flags
3. Always obey all warning
signs displayed on the
beach
4. Do not swim when
the beach is closed
5. Do not swim if you
are unsure of conditions
6. Do not swim alone
if inexperienced in surf
conditions
7. Do not swim whilst
under the influence of
alcohol
8. Do not panic if caught
in a current stay calm
raise your arm and wait
until help arrives
9. Do not struggle against
a rip swim diagonally
across it.
Crime
is not a major
problem but like any
big city with lots of
tourism take care and
leave valuables in the
hotel safe.
