22.01.2022 Marine Rescue Point Danger Radio Operator Alan Rowlandson was swapping the Communications room to communications on the Rescue Vessel Point Danger 30. Alan was joining the Duty Crew for a different perspective from the water then at the Lighthouse. The vessel patrolled around the popular local fishing spots so Alan experience where the offshore boaters head to when logging on with Marine Rescue Point Danger.
21.01.2022 RO Terry Gunton had the opportunity to go out on Marine Rescue vessel PD30 to visit local fishing spots offshore to get a different perspective than the view from the Lighthouse.
20.01.2022 Missing a jetski? Our Marine Rescue Ulladulla volunteers aboard UL 30 have located this beauty drifting off Bendalong. Might be a little uncomfortable to ride. If it's yours, you have a bit of work to do removing the barnacles, and the engine may need a service.
19.01.2022 Excellent 2 days of Watch Officers training for 3 Marine Rescue Point Danger Radio Operators Alan Rowlandson, Graham Challender and Terry Gunton. A huge thank you to UC/TO Richard Taffs & WO Jackie Taffs from MR Wooli, MRNSW Regional Training Manager Rodney Page and MRPD Radio Operator Sandra Bond. Thank you all for your support and help in making this awesome training day come together.
19.01.2022 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.

06.01.2022 Marine Rescue specialists from the NSW Mid North Coast and Hunter Coast will take to the water off Forster to search for victims missing at sea as part of a m...ajor capability exercise tomorrow. The search is the focus of a two-day regional Search and Rescue Exercise (SAREX) designed to test agencies’ marine search and rescue practices and coordination. MRNSW Deputy Commissioner Alex Barrell said more than 70 volunteers from nine MRNSW units would be among more than 85 specialists taking part in the second of the 2021 SAREX series. Members of the Forster-Tuncurry, Trial Bay, Nambucca, Port Macquarie, Camden Haven, Crowdy Harrington, Port Stephens, Newcastle and Lemon Tree Passage units will take part. They will be joined by personnel from the NSW Police Force Marine Area Command, Australia Maritime Safety Authority, Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter and Surf Life Saving NSW. These exercises are staged along the coastline each year to hone marine rescue search and rescue skills and cooperation between agencies to ensure we can all operate seamlessly in an emergency, Deputy Commissioner Barrell said. This weekend’s event is a major component of our ongoing professional training program for our volunteers in this busy boating region. Our volunteers are trained to the highest standards for their roles and the on-water experience they gain from a SAREX helps keep them rescue-ready around the clock. The search exercise is based on a scenario involving a search for multiple victims of a large-scale emergency. The search starts about 8.30am on Saturday, with rescue vessels from the Marine Rescue Forster Tuncurry, Crowdy Harrington, Port Stephens and Lemon Tree Passage units and a NSW Police vessel heading offshore from the harbour. Rescue Water Craft from Marine Rescue Nambucca, Trial Bay and Port Macquarie and Surf Life Saving will search close to the shoreline. The Westpac helicopter will drop search mannequins as targets. Volunteers from all nine units will be undertaking incident management exercises on shore.

03.01.2022 These furry fellows hanging out at the Narooma Bar this morning get our ‘seal’ of approval. They’re a reminder as we head into whale watching season to keep a look out for wildlife when you are out on the water and to keep a safe distance from seals, whales and dolphins.
03.01.2022 The Marine Rescue NSW Search and Rescue Exercise is continuing at Bermagui today. Volunteers from Marine Rescue Batemans Bay, Marine Rescue Tuross, Marine Rescu...e Bermagui, Marine Rescue Merimbula, Marine Rescue Eden, Marine Rescue Moama and Marine Rescue Narooma this morning held a debrief of yesterday's search exercise. This is an important component of a SAREX, identifying what participants learned about responding together with numerous search assets on the water and in the air, what worked well and what they might do differently next time. Director Operations Andrew Cribb thanked all participants for giving up their weekend. He congratulated everyone on their constructive approach, particularly applauding the efforts of rescue vessel crews during yesterday's search, who set a new search pattern for the last sweep of the day in just four minutes. Today's program also includes learning more about the operations and capability of our partners from Marine Area Command - NSW Police Force, Australian Maritime Safety Authority - AMSA, Surf Life Saving NSW and Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopters.
