March 2017 (ROTM#99) Kingsford Smith Airport, Sydney, Australia

This rip current is a little unique as it's actually a picture of Bondi Beach inside Sydney's airport. It appears on a billboard that takes up a whole wall as you walk to some of the gates. You can see the departures board (and my daughters head) and the billboard appears several times in the airport. It says 'Share. Snap. Fly'.  I have no idea what it means to be honest!

However,  there are several 'dark gap' rips heading offshore in the picture . There's also people standing in them, but fortunately the waves are very small and it's low tide.

I wonder how many thousands of people walk by this picture almost every day? I wonder how many of them know how to spot a rip current? I wonder how simple and easy it could be to have arrows pointing to the rip currents with a simple safety message?

Everyone says that educating international visitors about rips is hard...I don't think so. Here's a great opportunity.

Airport rip education opportunity?
