Welcome

Congratulations to The Strand - Townsville for winning the National Award for Australia's Cleanest Beach, 2008. Townsville was the recent venue for the "End of an Era" Reunion for stokers.

In Australia we love our beaches.There are no privately-owned beaches in Australia - they're public places for all of us to enjoy. We make use of the coast as a destination for relaxation and fun. Many of us live close enough to a beach to visit regularly, and others use the beach for annual holidays.

Some of us go to the beach simply for the sun and sea. Others go to sail, surf, fish, snorkel, scuba dive and beach comb.

Keep Australia's beaches and waterways clean and always swim between the flags.

Beach Safety

Understanding the ocean is very important - the more you know about how waves, wind and tides affect conditions in the water, the better able you are to keep yourself safe, or even rescue others, from danger. Recognising danger signs and awareness of surf conditions is an essential part of lifesaving.

Remember the F-L-A-G-S and stay safe this summer…

F Find the flags and swim between them - the red and yellow flags mark the safest place to swim at the beach.

L Look at the safety signs - they help you identify potential dangers and daily conditions at the beach.

A Ask a surf lifesaver for some good advice - surf conditions can change quickly so talk to a surf lifesaver or lifeguard before entering the water.

G Get a friend to swim with you - so you can look out for each other's safety and get help if needed. Children should always be supervised by an adult.

S Stick your hand up for help - if you get into trouble in the water, stay calm, raise your arm to signal for help. Float with a current or rip - don't try and swim against it.

And remember – never:

Never swim at unpatrolled beaches
Never ever swim at night
Never swim under the influence of alcohol
Never run and dive into the water
Never swim directly after a meal
