 Australia's Holiday Coast has lots of opportunities for all ages, both sexes and any level of fitness to try a new adventure.

A few dos:
  1. Follow the safety rules and guidelines for each activity
  2. Drink a couple of glasses of water prior to and throughout the activity
  3. Apply sunscreen to a minimum of SPF15 and reapply regularly
  4. Sunglasses and a hat are a must
  5. Learn First Aid - St John Ambulance or Australian Red Cross
  6. Let someone know where you are going, how long you plan to be away - leave a note in your car detailing your planned route, description of what you're wearing and a contact phone number.



Swim between the flags
For nearly one hundred years, Australia’s trained surf lifesavers have been keeping our beaches safe. In that time, they have rescued more than 500,000 people and provided first aid to a million others. Of SLSA’s 113,000+ members, more than 34,000 actively patrol our beaches.

Beware of mozzies, they can spread diseases such as Ross River Virus and Barmah Forest virus.

What is Ross River Virus and Barmah Forest Virus?


These illnesses are similar and are passed to humans from infected mosquitoes; they are not spread from person to person. Symptoms include flu like symptoms, such as fever, headache and aches and pains in muscles and joints. Sometimes a rash appears on the body arms and legs. The symptoms usually develop about 1 week after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Complete recovery usually occurs within a couple of weeks but on rare occasions symptoms can persist for months. Infection results in immunity to further episodes of infection.

The best method of avoiding infection is to avoid mozzies bites

Mozzies are particularly active at dawn and dusk so you should take particular care at these times during the day to protect yourself from mozzies bites

  • Use an effective repellent on exposed skin areas
  • Cover up as much as possible with loose fitting clothing, mossies can bite through tight fitting clothes
  • Use mosquito coils or vaporising mats
  • Ensure screens on windows and doors are kept closed and are in good condition
  • If camping use a mozzie net and ensure your tent is screened
  • Use a knockdown insecticide in bedrooms half an hour before going to bed
Remember when using insecticides and repellents follow the instruction provided by the manufacturer.
