Supporting @nswses and working with @slsnsw we deployed both @westpac Lifesaver 21 and Lifesaver 23 to the #Eugowra region to assist with the floods that had caused havoc. Along with @nswpolice, @nswrfs @tollambulancerescue, and others we have provided aerial support - rescuing a number of people and assisting with the evacuation of others. Our thoughts are with all,

Thank you for making us welcome. Stay safe.

The @westpac Lifesaver 23 crew recently undertook some activity with @nswpolice around the #mountkosciusko region. Cool shot from our tail cam 🎥.

Always something different. From the ocean to the mountains, from the sand to the bush and snow - we will go wherever we are needed.

Another fantastic day out recently a visit to Oran Park Public School as part of the @westpac Schools program.

Got a bit wet, but the kids didn’t care so neither did we. Nothing but smiles.

Some great questions asked by the students and an amazing welcome from everyone. We provided an overview of what we do and reminded everyone about being safe.

Thanks for having us and thanks to Westpac for their support in making these visits possible.

#RESCUE On Monday the @westpac Lifesaver 23 crew from Moruya were called to check on a rock fisher at South Durras on the south coast.

On arriving they found the fisher had taken a fall and sustained some injuries but was otherwise okay. The crew got him into the aircraft and delivered him to waiting ambulance crews.

Thanks to the member of the public for the photo 📸, sorry we didn’t get your name to credit you!

#FLOODSUPPORT A few smiling faces on board today as these guys get to be reunited with their families.

After liaising with @nswpolice it was agreed to evacuate the remaining people at the Bendethera camping grounds which had been cut off by flood waters around a week ago, with a number of children and adults previously evacuated by the @westpac Lifesaver 23 crew out of Moruya and supplies provided to others in the region.

Still plenty of water flowing so please consider your safety and that of others and heed warnings ⚠️ from Police and @nswses .

#FLOODSUPPORT The @westpac Lifesaver 23 crew out of #Moruya had some precious cargo on board today when asked to do a welfare check on a couple of families on a camping trip who had been cut of by recent storm events creating flooded areas of NSW around #Bendethera and near the #DeuaRiver.

While all safe, the families had been isolated for 3-4 days and it was decided to get some of them to drier and warmer areas.

Some amazing work being done around the state by @slsnsw, @nswses, @nswpolice . Happy to do what we can to help out.

#FLOODWATER A reminder to all to NOT drive through flood waters. Lucky escape for this person down the southern regions of NSW, albeit their vehicle not as lucky. The @westpac Lifesaver 23 #moruya crew finding this vehicle.

Please heed safety ⚠️ warnings from @bureauofmeteorology, @slsnsw, @nswses & @nswpolice .

#floodsupport The @westpac Lifesaver 23 crew from #Moruya spent the morning providing supplies to groups and families cut off by flood waters near #Yadbro Flats and also to the group at the Bluegum Bushcraft Kids Camp in the southern region of NSW.

Great opportunity to give them a show and tell which they seem pretty stoked to have us arrive.

Always happy to be helping the community in times of need and supporting our friends from @nswses .
