On Sunday we went to DeeWhy, one of the many ocean front towns in the Sydney area. In the top picture you see the salt water pool- many of the beaches have them. I was in it for a while. The fourth picture is the street in front of the beach. It is utterly typical. Restaurants and small apartment buiildings front the beach. The red and yellow flag in the second marks an about 100 meter guarded stretch- the lifeguards are under the umbrella. You might notice how many people are wearing shirts. The sun is pretty intense and there is a considerable awareness of the risk of sunburn and skin cancer. Everyone also uses tons of sunscreen. Rather more is sold in Oz than in Calgary.
