I have read that every second person in Australia have some kind of skin cancer because of Ozone Holes.
How true is this? How to protect while visiting Australia?
Thank you.

It's not ozone holes; just the power of a sun high in the sky.
At a guess: are you fron Northern Europe? or USA?
We recommend :

SLIP on a shirt, preferably long-sleeved
SLOP on sunscreen 30+
SLAP on a hat!

Don't deliberately expose yourself to midday sun.

Taking zinc tablets -- I did so, and my skin has stayed good.

Get any suspicious area checked, at a place that does molescan
