It’s definitely summer holidays here with visitors from the UK sporting sunburns that’d make a tomato blush . The southern sun bites, hard and fast. #SlipSlopSlap, and long sleeves, people!

What's this? A spanking new comic!??

The danger of the sun has been drilled into us.

@miriamrobern I live in a beach town in Oz. Every summer there is the slow game of spotting the first sunburn, then the first double sunburn, then the first triple sunburn and, sometimes, rarities like the quadruple sunburn.

Then there are thong burns (footwear, not underwear), sandal burns, baldie burns, sunnie burns (where people got burned all around their sunglasses and look like raccoons), squiggle burns and stripey burns (too-hastily applied sunblock) and sleeper burns (where people fall asleep on the beach and get one side burned) and so on... endless variation. And those are just the visible ones.

If the wildlife doesn't get you, melanoma will. Slip, slop, slap, people!

Beautiful day for a walk ☀️👟 Remember to #slipslopslap while out in the sun people! #perthisok #weekend #exercise #lakemonger #saturday #followme #fitness

#Naturism encourages moderate sun exposure, which is linked to improved vitamin D levels. However, it’s important to balance this with skin cancer risk & use appropriate sun protection when needed.

It's getting hot out there (87F🌡️ where I am) and that brings me to the shocking news (to me) that "Sid the Seagull" in the "Slip, Slop, Slap" ads was voiced by none other than Shane Porteous, Dr. Elliot of A COUNTRY PRACTICE.
Whether it's true or not, melanoma sucks (my mother and uncle have both had it) so if you've never seen this gem, share with your friends. #slipslopslap #cutebird #cartoon #seagullsgivingsageadvice

Getting a mole removed from my arm today. The visual check said it was okay but as it has changed texture and shape, off it comes just in case. Can't be too careful in the Aussie sun. #SlipSlopSlap #IttyBittySurgeryCommittee

big brains on the orange site are now experts on sunscreen and advising to minimise use 🤨 🦞

Those movie imagess would make a super "Slip, Slop, Slap" cover-up-when-in-the-summer-sun advert.

Maybe change the name to #BeforeSun though.

I miss the #PublicHealthCampaigns, like #SlipSlopSlap, #Norm and #2Fruit5Veg. Think I got more sense of community spirit from them than from nationalOlympic medal tallies.

Have they been happening over the last 30 years?
