This is the first time I’ve seen signs like this one at Spencer Beach Park. I didn’t see any jellyfish on the beach so perhaps the signs were a warning for those getting in the water. There are often jellyfish in the water, but not in such numbers as to be a problem.
This park is popular with families with small kids so perhaps the authorities were being extra cautious with the signs.

Yeah, as a former Aussie kid, jellyfish anywhere in the world make me want to stay away, just in case

There are a couple of box jellyfish here that have a painful sting, and also the Portuguese Man-of-War, but most of the others aren’t that bad. Not that I intend to put that information to the test if I can help it.

We have lots of signs on beaches. The Jellyfish one is for Far North Queensland where Box Jellyfish are. They have been known to sting and some people have died

Mostly the jellyfish here are not that dangerous. I think they just don’t want people having a bad experience!

I was stung by a Portuguese Man-of-War Jellyfish. That was an experience not to be repeated especially as I was wading in the shallows

Yikes!
One memory from my Australian trip will be not being able to go in the water at some beaches, and others having to wear wetsuits – all because of your jelly fish.

You can wear thick pantyhose or swim with someone you think would seem tastier…..

Yes, I bet that would hurt. I always thought it would be easy to spot a Portuguese Man-of-War, but hat’s because in Europe they’re quite large. The Pacific ones are much smaller and so harder to see. Presumably that’s what got you?

Yes it was much smaller than the ocean ones. Maybe it had a different name

It may well have been a Pacfic Portuguese Man-of-War. The sail on those is only an inch or so long.
