People sunbathe on Nobbys Beach on a hot autumn day in the city of Newcastle
People sunbathe on Nobbys Beach on a hot autumn day in the city of Newcastle, located 120 km (75 miles) north of Sydney, March 11, 2007. Australia has the highest skin cancer rate in the world, three times that of the United States and six times higher than Britain, and a report by the New South Wales Cancer Institute says that despite decades of health campaigning, the rate of melanoma, the most common kind of cancer, is soaring and is expected to rise another 11 percent by 2011.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a scene of tranquility and leisure on Nobbys Beach in the city of Newcastle. The image captures a hot autumn day where people are seen sunbathing, seemingly oblivious to the potential dangers lurking beneath the radiant Australian sun. The serene beauty of the beach contrasts sharply with the alarming statistics that hover over Australia's battle against skin cancer. With its highest skin cancer rate globally, three times that of the United States and six times higher than Britain, this nation faces an uphill struggle in combating melanoma - one of the most prevalent forms of cancer. Despite decades of health campaigning aimed at raising awareness about sun protection measures, a report by New South Wales Cancer Institute predicts an 11 percent increase in melanoma cases by 2011. This sobering reality adds depth to our appreciation for this picturesque moment captured by photographer David Gray. As we gaze upon this idyllic setting, it serves as a reminder that even amidst such natural splendor, vigilance is necessary to protect ourselves from harmful ultraviolet rays. The juxtaposition between leisurely sunbathers and Australia's troubling skin cancer rates prompts us to reflect on our own responsibility towards maintaining healthy habits under sunny skies. This photograph not only encapsulates a fleeting moment frozen in time but also invites contemplation about personal well-being and society's ongoing fight against preventable diseases like melanoma.
