Brisbane Bushwalkers

Queensland is the melanoma capital of the world, so how do we protect ourselves while we still enjoy the great outdoors? Club member Katie Lee from The University of Queensland’s Dermatology Research Centre will give a talk and answer some questions about sun protection and early melanoma detection in the Sunshine State. There are plenty of myths around sun protection, what melanomas look like, who gets them and what you can do about them and other skin cancers. In fact, we have some videos busting melanoma myths here, answering common Google searches. We’re also planning to do more videos, so if you have a skin cancer question, or a “fact” you want to check, we’d love to hear it.
