Sunburn: Watch the sun!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • One problem many people travelling to Brisbane and Australia in general is the sun. Unlike some places in the world, the sun here is very strong and can burn within minutes. If you're going to be outside for the day, it's best to put on sunscreen and wear a hat. Also have lots of water, especially in summer - dehydration and sunstroke are a good way to ruin a holiday. If you're going to be drinking alcohol outdoors, also bear this in mind, - a day in the sun makes a hangover even worse!!

    Sunburn: Brisbane - Capital of the The Sunshine State
  • Tip Rating:
  • Brisbane is capital of the Cancer State!
    Yes we suffer the highest incidence of sun cancers in the world. Don't add to the statistics.
    Slip, Slop, Slap!
    Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat,
    Slip, Slop, Slap!
    You can stop skin cancer - say: "Slip, Slop, Slap!" .............and
    wrap on the sunnies to protect your eyes!

    Sunburn: Sunburn
  • Tip Rating:
  • Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer caused by the sun in the world due to the depletion of the ozone layer. Without protection you will start to burn after 15-20 mins.

    Sunglasses are a necessity especially while driving or on the water. Wear hats (not necessarily an Acubra) and UV sunscreen and drink lots of water.

    Sunburn: The heat!
    It can be very hot here, so be sure you can always get water. $1.50 a bottle usually. Most parks have water taps, but they are sometimes warm.
    Be sure to wear a hat and sunscreen, or you will burn.
