    Compared to the Australian sun, the European one (Northern) is a 60w bulb.

    I only burn on my shoulders and on the back of my neck here in the North and put therefore only sun screen on those areas. This is based on experience (I am becoming an old geezer).

    Taking this trial and error, fined tuned method of putting sun screen just on the right places to maximize tanning to the Australian sun was a bad mistake.
    Yes, I didn't get burned on my shoulders nor on my neck, but the rest of my exposed skin got a purple tint which resulted in fever and immobility for several days.

    I am wondering if Australia does have an ozone layer at all

    We do, the hole only recently closed up, it's still quite a thin layer though.
