We shared Parrotile's dismay at those incredible beaches in Queensland with an assortment of blood-curdling warning signs deterring us from swimming. We got around it by staying offshore in the Whitsunday Islands. The "nasties" are less prevalent away from the mainland.
We visited Queensland in October a few years ago - evidently just before the box jellyish season. But I agree: the prevalence of those 'first-aid' stations every 20 meters or so was a sobering sight. Just a warning sign above a little shelf where a bottle of vinegar would be kept, to ease the pain until the EMTs could arrive. Those Aussies must be a brave lot, to go swimming in those conditions.
i was watching a show on tv about sharks and they did mention new smyrna as a tourist site for sharks, think i'll watch from the beach. and a warning for those with little common sense- saw this at the fishing pier at st.augustine , don't swim around a fishing pier where everyone has bloodly bait on their hooks especially at night. saw a couple swimming at night below the pier we stood ther for a while waiting for shark-tail to appear but the swimmers had luck on their side, thank godness it would not have been a pretty sight.
