I suspect that the concern here is that Australia, New Zealand, South 
Africa and all those close-to-the-ozone-hole countries have HORRENDOUS 
rates of skin cancer.  I met a young man at the marina in Cyprus who 
had sailed in on a boat from South Africa and who had served time in 
the army in Namibia.  He had some extremely impressive scars on his 
back and one of my kids asked him where they came from, thinking like a 
kid some accident or being shot at.  In fact, they were scars from 
having lesions removed....and he had been wearing shirts all the time.
