The three Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, have the 3rd, 5th, and 6th highest rates of skin cancer in the world, respectively. #FACT

I wasn't sure whether to post about this or not... But a couple of months ago I got diagnosed with skin cancer. I offhandedly mentioned a mole to my doctor during an unrelated appointment, we got it tested and it was a basal cell carcinoma, the most common (and treatable) form of skin cancer. I'm only in my 20's but a lifetime of being an ocean-child has done some damage! I am meticulous with sunscreen these days but it wasn't enough. Don't worry though! This is the type that doesn't usually spread so I'm going to be ok. I got it taken out yesterday. So please... All of my merfolk out there and all of my followers and your little ones... Wear sunscreen, reapply regularly. Slip (on a shirt), slop (on sunscreen), slap (on a hat), seek (shade) and slide (on some sunnies)! #sunsmart #slipslopslap #sunscreen #skincancerawareness #wearsunscreen #besunsmart (at Perth, Western Australia)

Every time we stop, it takes about a week before I start to get antsy. Not this time. I love it here. The peace, the quiet, the ripples in the water... One of my earliest memories of my Nana was my family camping right near a river like we are now. She died when I was little but the memories of camping, fishing, and the bush were forever imprinted in my heart. Only a few kilometres from town, we are in the perfect location. Close to shops when we need it as well as a dump point and water refill. The kids have been in their element - especially the two youngest ones who were born water babies. I suspect over the next few days, though, we will all be living in the water as Mother Nature is set to give us a weekend in the mid-forties 🥵 I can't think of anywhere better than the #murrayriver to spend our days right now! #slipslopslap #travel #travellingaustraliawithkids #thebiglap #traveling #bigfamilytravelling #thisisourlife #bigfamilytravels #aroundaustralia #australian #travelaustralia #caravanning #bushcamp https://www.instagram.com/p/CKThE60H0aG/?igshid=1mxn3gggs6jwv
