How does the Brisbane Hospital/Ambulance system choose where to send a person who has a medical emergency or has called 000?

Sun safety

Might not be the best place to post this but me and the Mrs are visiting Brisbane in September and wondered if anyone had any tips to avoid sunburn? We’re from the North of England and it doesn’t get all that warm here so if there’s anything you do differently there other than cover up and apply sun cream regularly please let me know (this is a forecast for the next week or so right in the middle of our summer http://www.theweatheroutlook.com/forecast/uk/HX4). submitted by /u/Mrhoyo [link] [comments]
