A series of water deaths, only one of which is related to water sports. It seems despite series of drownings since the beginning of the year, people are continuing to put themselves in danger without taking precautions near water bodies. This apparent disregard for personal safety is disturbing. Are people trying to tempt nature or simply think too highly of their luck or swimming capabilities?
To think that these drownings happen as PUB is launching the ABC campaign to open up waterways is also very disturbing...
