⁣

🏖️ Swim with a friend or let someone know where you are going and when you hope to return. ⁣
🏖️ Be mindful of️ noise and behaviour around public and residential spaces. ⁣
🏖️ Ensure valuables aren’t left unattended on the beach or in your car.⁣
⁣
Make smart choices in and around water. ⁣
⛵ Slow your vessel to 5 knots when near other boats, ramps, jetties, swimmers, surfers and the shore.⁣
⛵ Avoid driving personal watercraft too close to boating zones, the shore or near swimmers.⁣
⛵ Always wear a lifejacket.⁣
⛵ Check the conditions before heading out⁣. ⁣
⁣
Explore the outdoors with confidence.⁣
🏞️ Research the area using a current map. ⁣
