What the statistics don't mention are the skin types that these skin cancer victims have. And in most cases, the people with skin cancer are, not surprisingly, have fair skin. Look at all the othere countries in the same latitudes as Australia and you will find the native people have dark skin. That skin type is suited to the tropics.

SUN SUN SUN
years ago we didnt realise what the sun was doing to us, even simple jobs of hanging some washing out daily in the sunshine is putting us at risk of skin cancer. We have high UV rays even in the middle of winter.

more uv affecting the skin means more skin cancer.
