What do the various other coloured flags on the beaches mean?
Although these flags are not yet universally used around Australia, it’s important to know what they mean: • A yellow flag means you should proceed with caution as there are potentially dangerous conditions in the water. • A red flag means there is danger so you should not enter the water. • A red chequered flag means a shark has been spotted. • A blue flag indicates the board-riding area for surfers.
