Druk — Schoolies

• Risico

  Cyclone and storm season

  1 nov – 30 apr · meestalCycloonseizoen

  Cyclones themselves rarely reach this far south, but their remains and the east coast lows that follow strip the beaches most summers, and the afternoon storms shut the theme park rides for an hour at a time. Bron ↗

• Risico

  Bluebottle season

  1 nov – 31 mrt · meestalInsecten & ziekten

  Summer northeasterlies push rafts of bluebottles onto the open beaches and the lifesavers close them for the afternoon; a bad weekend runs to hundreds of stings on this coast alone. The sheltered points fare better. Bron ↗
