- Only swim where it is signposted as safe. In the tropics that means crocodile and stinger warnings apply, whatever it looks like.
- Spots are added by backpackers, not verified on site by Matey. If it has changed, flag it in the app so the next person knows.
- Working nearby? Mareeba is 38km away: farm work in Mareeba.
