Apart from the occasional shark, beware of bluebottles (poisonous jellyfish) when swimming in the sea. The sting can be fatal. It's prudent to check with the nearest Surf Life Club before going into the water, especially in summer (and especially in tropical waters). And only 'swim between the flags', the yellow & red flags erected by lifeguards to indicate which part of the sea is safe to swim in and which they patrol.

Bush Fires: You've never seen fires like it!

The bushfire season obviously goes through summer, November through February, and the worst time is usually Christmas/New Year. In drought conditions, which is a regular occurence, the danger period is much longer.
This is a time of extreme danger, and not only in the bush. The Blue Mountains are often hit and, because Sydney has many natural bush parks - and the oil in our ubiquitous eucalypt trees is highly flammable - raging fires can come right into the suburbs. Obey the warning signs, do not drop cigarette ends, do not light fires if a fire ban has been declared.
See my Wollongong page for what happens in one of our bushfires...
