Let this be a lesson to everybody tempted to go sans jandals at the beach this summer.
In a story so Australian it hurts, 25-year-old Joanne Hall received such severe blisters from running across hot sand at Fremantle beach on Thursday she had to be rushed to the burn unit.
The temperate that day had soared to a whopping 42.4C, but underestimating the temperature of the sand, poor Joanna made the dash to the water barefoot.
"The sand was very hot and I ran from the top of the beach down to the water," Joanne told The West Australian.
