Stinger Season

There is an array of jellyfish (also called 'marine stingers') in Queensland's tropical waters. Stingers are of particular concern in waters between November to May/ June. In Tropical North Queensland we call this period 'stinger season'. It is once again coming up to "stinger season" here in Mission Beach so if your thinking about going swimming be sure to wear a stinger suit or swim in designated stinger nets.
