Water sports are extremely popular here.
Water is also a very special feature of many national parks and all marine parks.
From sparkling freshwater lakes to boulder-strewn creeks and tranquil reef lagoons, water attracts many visitors. If you choose to swim, you should always be very careful. It's not the same as swimming in a backyard pool. Creeks, lakes, lagoons and the sea have hidden dangers. Many people have been seriously injured swimming in parks.
