Our brave lifeguards perform a vital role and patrol many of our beaches and it is their job to watch people in the water to make sure they remain safe.
Lifeguards put up flags on the beach to show where it is safe to swim. The phrase 'swim between the flags' is an Australian mantra.
The yellow and red flags are a national symbol of where lifesavers would like you to stay, so you don’t get caught in a rip. Rips are where water is calm on the top, but a dangerous under-current can drag you out. The flags mark the area where it is safe to swim.
This is a minimal take on the scene from a local beach one autumn day a few years ago.
