GUIDE TO SURFING IN AUSTRALIA
 
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.

True, but the sea around Oz also tends to be inhabited by big bitey things,
and I don't mean Australians.

Yes, as it does in Florida, and all along the US 'Gulf (of Mexico) Coast'.
