Sun protection:
Because of the depletion of the ozone layer, a hat and 30+ sunscreen is recommended for daytime use. A sunshirt is also a good idea for those that burn readily. Shade on the beach is found in the form of beach umbrellas or sunshades (polyester structures) all readily available at supermarkets.

Security: Though crime is not rampant in Australia, it is wise to be aware. A bum bag is ideal for carrying passport, wallet etc. Beware of airports, markets, ATM`s, railway stations etc. Also beware of ploys to divert your attention, keep all bags close and wrapped around a part of your body. Report any crime at the nearest police station.

Emergencies:
The Emergency Number in Australia is 000.
