17.01.2022 The next expired flared collection day for Ballina is Friday, 20th November, 2020 at the Fishery Creek boat ramp between 10:30 & 12:30. If you have expired flares, this is the easiest and safest way to get them out of your vessel, shed or garage. There are more collection days in January and April next year.



16.01.2022 It was a busy weekend of volunteer assessment in the north of the state over the past few days as 13 volunteers from MR Wooli, MR Evans Head, MR Point Danger, Mr Cape Byron and MR Ballina, led by trainers Courtney Greenslade and Ian Grimwood, undertook a Fire Fighting and Sea Survival course in Ballina. The course provided the volunteers with vital skills to help them should there be an emergency at sea. As well as life-raft training at Ballina pool, the volunteers also under...took practical and theory training in flare deployment and in fire training using both fire extinguishers and blankets. Earlier in the weekend MR Cape Byron volunteer Patrick Deprez received his rating as Marine Rescue Radio Operator and MR Ballina volunteer Norm Lannoy had his Trainer Assessor qualifications validated.

09.01.2022 It's Halloween! If you are heading out on the water today, have a spooktacular time, and watch out for ghost ships, dog-paddling werewolves and low flying witch...es. You can try protecting yourself by carrying some garlic, but if you really want to be safer, just Log On and Log Off on VHF Channel 16 or with the free Marine Rescue App. And maybe carry a little of that vampire-repelling garlic too, just to be sure!
