Well here in S E Queensland, we can safely say that the drought is over, our dam is spilling over 73 days worth of water a day into the Nerang River, so this weekend the water restrictions have finally been lifted and its back to washing cars etc. Its interesting in an earlier post I made mention of the awful weather we were having, but how the UV ratings for each day had been extreme, with levels of 13 - 15. It was interesting to see how people are fooled into thinking they did not need any Sun Protection on these days...... Just goes to show the process of education is still a huge part of the solution.                                          

Well maybe this picture will help, this is a Normal Picture of what looks like a very healthy young lady, and then a photo of her taken with a very special UV camera. You can see that with the special camera her skin is showing significant Sun Damage. So you may look at your own reflection and think how great you look, but really how do you look. We encourage everyone to visit a Skin Cancer Clinic at least once every 12 months, and hey for us in Australia its all bulked billed on Medicare, so no excuses. I am off for my regular check so I will keep you updated. Just because we are in the industry does not mean we are immune from the ravages of the Sun.........Remember: Block the Sun, Not the Fun!
