With a little respite from the rain, the Australians decided to take advantage and dive into the foam, which it is not toxic, but it carries risks.
Specialists in marine life of the country warned of the appearance of sea snakes. Australia has 32 different species of this animal, and all they are poisonous.
With the arrival of summer, the Australia prepares to be hit by “La Niña” phenomenon, typically associated with higher rainfall intensity and occurrence of tropical cyclones.
This is a great contrast to last summer, when the country experienced long periods of drought and suffered large-scale forest fires.
Australia’s meteorological office warned that isolated storms can still generate heavy rain, causing floods.
