You could also go on a world forum and see if any of those folks down under in Australia have any tips for fighting the sun.
Baby sunblock has worked, but I have to reapply it every 15-20 minutes. I still get burned, just not quite as bad. Tried the Coppertone brand - all of them - and still was blistered.

Just watch out for a vitamin D deficiency if you use too much of a strong sunblock - especially SPF 70! lol

Yes up here in Alaska many stores have put their mouth-wash behind a counter. The problem was many homeless people were buying it to get drunk on. I was also behind a guy in line once at the supermarket who they refused to sell it to. I am gonna try it this summer for the mosqitos (that is to spray it) lol.
