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.
