Great to see so many swimming at a patrolled beach between the red & yellow flags. Don’t forget to also:
* supervise children on, in and around water.
* wear a lifejacket if boating, rock fishing or on watercraft
* avoid alcohol around water

#RESCUE Always a great experience working with @nswpolice, @polairnswpf & @marineareacommand . Thanks team 👍🚁

Shared from @nswpolice
Another amazing team effort from PolAir, Marine Area Command and WESTPAC Lifesaver Rescue Service
👏

Just before 10am yesterday (Wednesday 11 January 2023), emergency services received reports a boat had capsized in waters off the Royal National Park. The three men were winched to safety and taken to Sutherland Hospital for observation.

This is another reminder to the community to make safety the priority when in, on or around the water. Be prepared and make sure you have all the necessary safety equipment on board, including life jackets 🌊🛟🚤

Rescue Crew member Tony, from the @westpac Lifesaver 21 service, has completed a coastal safety check and has some advice for those heading out, especially those around rocky areas or rock fishing! 🎣

Make sure you watch for waves and never underestimate the power of the ocean.

If rock fishing please wear a lifejacket. Stay safe. ⚠️

#MOTHERNATURE Such a beautiful day along the coast. 4 small sharks within a school of fish near #MarleyBeach 🦈.

No swimmers or craft users nearby. Just some cool images of our amazing environment.

Merry Xmas 🎄.

#SantaAlert The big fella in the red suit 🎅 put in a special request to check on a few people to tick off his naughty/nice list ✅.

A check in on the people at The Coogee Carol as part of the @randwickcouncil was one of the key spots. Great to see so many people out playing it safe.

Have a great night, stay safe and ‘be nice.’
