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. http://full-travel-review.blogspot.com/ |

Ah yes...another aussie yet thinking that the usa in rec.travel.usa-canada
stands for the United States of Austrailia. Haven't heard from one of them in a while. Good to know that these geographically inept folks still exist down under. wrote in message ups.com...

Alan -
I suggest you consult with those geographically inept folks down under who keep posting aussie locales in rec.travel.usa-canada. Most certainly they - being the ones insistently posting here - can answer your questions better than I ever can. ah yes...the spell checker. My bad. But an extra 'eye' in aussie land at least is in aussie land. regards, Lawrence "Alan S" wrote in message ...

Agreed...my take on some of those "few things" are aussies who keep thinking that usa/canada are part of aussie land. hmmm...or is it aussie land being part of usa/canada? How do you yourself explain this continued geopoliticall confusion which finds your mates from there down under making such posts in rec.travel.usa-canada? Curious minds would like to know how an aussie thinks.... |

Curious minds would like to know how an aussie thinks.... Could it be concern for the tourists that come to Australia? Maybe because so many tourists die in the surf in Australia - not necessarily Americans - but it is frightening how many tourists get off the plane and immediately head for the surf. The idiots can't swim, won't swim between the flags, and our lifesavers have to risk their lives to save them. Why on earth would Aussies think they are part of USA/Canada. What is more worrying is the Yanks who don't know where Australia is. It is really really frightening that they can be so ignorant. |

What is more worrying is the Yanks who don't know where Australia is. It is really really frightening that they can be so ignorant. The way we would handle such issues here in the good old USA is to have those folks sign liability waivers as soon as they get off the plane, before they hit the beaches. Nothing makes an American stop and think once he/she signs a liability waiver because it obviates all chances for filing a court suit. You auusies should really consider such a requirement. Then you wouldn't have to make such posts in rec.travel.usa-canada. ....so are Yanks/Kanucks posting USA/Canada travel sites in an aussie travel newsgroup? If so, then please direct your worrying bit there to those misguided Yanks/Kanucks. |
