I am currently in the city of Brisbane, which is in the southern part of Queensland on the East coast of Australia. It was sprinkling when we arrived yesterday and has not let up since, sometimes raining harder. So I thought I would focus on something sunnier for this entry instead.
The Australian people are very aware of the sun and its potential harm. So they make it easier for everyone to stay safe and in the shade. At every playground there are tarps that shade it.
Back in Cairns there is a public pool called the Lagoon. Around the pool and over the water is provided shade. Also, around the pool are information stations where you can find out the temperature as well as the UV level for the day.
Moral of the story, when the summer comes again, in 7 months, wear your sunscreen!
