Thousands of holidaymakers have been stung by jellyfish after a vast number of the sea creatures swarmed beaches in Queensland, Australia.
Surf Life Saving Queensland said a “whopping†3,595 people were attacked, forcing the closure of popular swimming spots across the northern state.
Lifeguards said the invasion was caused by unusually strong north-easterly winds pushing the marine animals close to shore.
Queensland’s heavily populated Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast regions were worst hit.
