Suddenly, she jerks a gaze in the direction of the noise. Cancer Council TV Ad is on anew. Shakily she strokes her bold head and remembers. She must have dozed off again. Just another minute is all she can hope for now.
Ocean’s packed with surfers waiting for the perfect wave. Helicopters survey for shark threat along the cost. Lifeguards on the ready. Sunburned bodies line up on the towels. Sandcastles, buckets and joyful screams... Her porcelain feet buried in the warm, glittery sand. Her pail hand reaches for the sunscreen. Ice-cream van chimes in the distance. Picture perfect summer.

A bygone dream that turned into a nightmare. Ages ago we had an ad in Australia for sunscreen, Slip Slop Slap. It was very successful but these days adverts warning us to cover up, as well as applying sunscreen, still see uncovered bodies glistening on beaches.

Unfortunately, despite all the ads, I don’t think we fully understand how Sun in Australia impacts our bodies and how dangerous it is. Until it’s too late. Especially young people. They tend to think they are invincible. Comments are closed.
