Warnings Or Dangers: Australian Sea Dangers
  • Tip Rating:
  • Australia has some dangerous sea creatures. Everyone knows we have shark attacks but you're more likely to get run over by one of our many surfies than eaten by a great white. If the shore line is dotted by little bloated blue things with long blue tails, don't go swimming!! They are blue bottles and will give you a nasty sting and welts all over your skin by their long blue tenticles. It's a good idea to keep some vinegar close by to poor over you to sooth the pain. If not, Coke works quite well also. Also don't go swimming on the northern Qld beaches in summer as that's jelly fish season. They don't mess around - you're a gonner if one of them fellas get you.
    Happy swimming :o)
