Thanks for the info about Stick Figures in Peril. That's a funny group, and I posted this photo there. (And thanks, everyone for the comments.)

The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that whoever created this sign, must have been watching a sifi move about an alien encounter right before drawing it.

Wow, never seen a jellyfish warning, it's a good idea I guess but it could scare even more people out of the beautiful aussie beaches!

Thanks for telling me about the group!

Are you sure this isn't a squid warning?

This sign was next to an emergency vinegar rinse, which is used (along with other procedures) to detox the wound. Some of those jellyfish pack a potent punch. Other Australian beaches have Betadine stations for after close encounters with coral and other marine wildlife.

Stingers are nasty little brutes that take over many beaches in northern Australia between November and May each year.

They are the small Irukandji jellyfish and the Box Jellyfish and are very dangerous to humans. Their poisonous stings have killed people.

Their usual haunts are beaches - they rarely trouble swimmers on the islands or reefs of the region - and the advice is to either swim in the stinger enclosures provided at major beaches or wear stinger suits.

We treat them with respect!

cheers
