25.01.2022 And that’s a wrap! A massive thank you to all our volunteers that have patrolled between our red and yellow flags and kept those visiting Sandon Point safe. It’s been a big season with the stats showing that rescues have tripled by comparison to last year. Thanks again to our patrollers, water safety, nippers and committee members for such an amazing season! We look forward to seeing you down the beach. #mysurflife #slsillawarra #volunteer #endofseason #emergencyservices #community #thanks

24.01.2022 #VALE // CALDWELL, Keith ‘Cocky’ It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Bulli club legend, Surf Life Saving Illawarra life member, great fr...iend and life saver extraordinaire, Keith ‘Cocky’ Caldwell. Keith passed away peacefully surrounded by his family Maria, Jamie, Alicia, Natalie, and Catherine in the Intensive Care Unit of Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney. He leaves behind an unmatched record of service to Bulli SLSC and a lifetime of love, loyalty and dedication to the surf lifesaving movement. Beginning his time at Bulli as a cadet Keith showed an aptitude for surf sports early on as he rose through the ranks enjoying enormous success as a board paddler and ironman competition winning medals at a state and national level. His interest in sport and lifesaving never faded as he went on to coach and manage Illawarra, NSW, and Australian representative teams. This season also marked a milestone for Keith who celebrated his 18th season as president of Bulli SLSC. Throughout his time in Surf Life Saving he has received many accolades including Life Member of his club, Illawarra branch, NSW and Australia along with many more incredible achievements. Keith will be sadly missed by his loving family and many dear friends in our Surf Life Saving Community. Bulli SLSC will communicate about the arrangements for Keith’s funeral once available. RIP OUR FRIEND COCKY

08.01.2022 Over the weekend Surf Life Saving Illawarra Duty Officers,Support Operation Crews on jetskis and the lifesaving UAV (Drone) continued to provide roving surveill...ance patrols from the water and air between Sandon Point through to Bellambi Point. Currently only a number of seals located yesterday and a sea turtle. No other marine life sighted. During regular UAV flights around Bulli coastal area today, the lifesaving UAV pilot sighted a unknown object located on a rock ledge. On further investigation it was found to be heavy and possible a bone from the whale carcass. On Saturday lifesavers assisted a member from ORRCA in locating an injured seal at Bellambi Point.Unfortunately the injured seal returned to the ocean. Thanks to the volunteer lifesavers that provided roving surveillance patrols on the water and air over the weekend. - Anthony Turner & Craig Zulian Surf Life Saving Illawarra
