Imagine a warm, sunny Saturday on a typically-beautiful
Australian beach. What do you see?
Smooth, rolling waves?
The sun warming bathers hoping to top up their tans?
Surfers patiently waiting for the perfect wave?
All quite probable findings. On this particular day, I wasn’t
quite that lucky, unfortunately. It was my day to see what it was like to be an
Australian lifeguard and the weather was not cooperating. Regardless of the rain
coming down at different angles, however, the lifeguards on duty were all
business. As you would expect, they take their job seriously from the moment
their feet hit the sand. Don’t get me wrong, however, they do like to have fun,
but never at the expense of the safety of beach-goers.
