Walking in the bush and swimming have their hazards. Hitch-hiking is not recommended: this is illegal in some states. Women should avoid walking alone at night. If bushwalking or camping, leave an itinerary with friends. Wear boots, socks and trousers. Take care and heed warning signs when swimming, whether in the sea or fresh water (crocodiles!)
