Warning for the deadly box jellyfish.

The beaches of Queensland are beautiful. But like so many other parts of Australia, you never know what is lurking beneath the water in the oceans. These are just two of the many warning signs I saw in Queensland. Where we stayed in Mission Beach, there was a jellyfish net in an area of the beach so that you could swim safely. And when we went snorkeling, we wore sting proof wet suits.

On  lighter note, I could not resist taking photos of the signs below. When I walked up to these restrooms in Queensland, I saw the mangoes sign first and wondered if it was for the men’s or women’s toilets. Luckily, the women’s room provided clarity.
