Australia has the highest incidence of sunburn caused cancers in the world. The southern hemisphere sun is more intense than the northern hemisphere, and you can do a lifetime of damage to your skin and eye's if you're not careful. In Australia, the term slip, slop, slap, has been coined to remind us about the sun's danger.
Australia is a country, and a continent, surrounded by the Indian and Pacific oceans. Its principal cities – Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide – are coastal, but its capital, Canberra, is inland and nicknamed the "Bush Capital." The country is known for its Sydney Opera House, Great Barrier Reef, the vast Outback (interior desert wilderness) and unique animal species including kangaroos and duck-billed platypuses.
