  • Approximately, two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time they are 70.
  • An 18-month survey conducted at Cairns Airport by James Cook University found that sunburn was the number one concern for arriving tourists, outranking snake bites and sharks.
  • The majority of skin cancers are causes by sun exposure.
  • International visitors are often unaware about how strong the Australian sun can be.
  • The Australian sun is very strong and can burn your skin in as little as 15 minutes in summer, so it is important to protect yourself all year round, even if it is a cloudy day.
  • The Australian Government has developed a widget that provides UV ratings and sun smart advice.

    Things that can be done to stay hydrated include:
    - Drinking water
    - Staying in the shade
    - Swimming
    - Eating cold and refreshing foods such as Icy poles
    - Stay in cool areas
    - Don't go near me when I start to rap as I am known to spit fire, causing dehydration

    - According to SodaStream, 80% of Australians suffer from various symptoms of dehydration and many of them are unable to recognise the symptoms early enough.
