Surf life saving emu park

With its sub-tropical climate and long stretches of pristine beaches, the tiny village of Emu Park regularly attracts beachgoers. It’s been home to the Emu Park Surf Life Saving Club since 1956 (back when volunteers came in by train on weekends due to the lack of a road). In December of that year, the first clubhouse was opened ushering in a new era for the club and the village as a whole. Members continue to give of their time to protect their community along their gorgeous section of the Capricorn Coast.

Surf life saving agnes water

Agnes Water is one of Queensland’s most recognised northern surf beaches, located in a small country town situated just 90 minutes from the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Agnes Water hosts a Lifeguard patrolled beach, with Agnes Water SLSC providing members with access to training, education and competition opportunities for nippers, cadets and volunteer patrolling members. The nipper and junior activities program is held every Sunday morning during the surf lifesaving season, providing our future lifesavers with the opportunity to participate in a range of beach and surf activities, in addition to developing skills that lead to qualifications in resuscitation and first aid.

New members and their families are always encouraged to come along, meet our existing nipper families and get involved in our nipper and junior activity program.

Surf life saving moore park

Moore Park Beach is a 14.5 km beach which is located 20 km from Bundaberg. It was founded at a meeting on the 9 th August 1954 as a memorial to the men and women of the district who had served their country at war. Since then we have developed and grown as a vital volunteer emergency service provider that covers from the Burnett River in the south to Agnes Water in the north.

Over the past few years, regularly there have been more than 12 000 people visit Moore Park Beach patrol area from mid-September to early May to swim and enjoy our beautiful beach. Our volunteer patrolling members put in over 2 300 hours of their own time to watch, protect and save these visitors at Moore Park.

Our club has an array of courses and education programs for its members in such areas as First Aid and CPR; Certificate II in Public Safety (Aquatic Rescue). We also offer a nipper program for children aged 5 years up to Senior and Masters, so whatever you are interested in with Surf Life Saving, you are well catered for at our Club.

Surf life saving elliott heads

Elliott Heads Surf Life Saving Club was established in 1965 by an enthusiastic band of volunteers led by local man John Cox, who developed a man-made beach between two rock groynes just north of the Elliott River mouth.

Over the years the club has grown and developed, and its clubhouse has recently undergone its fourth stage of building and extension to accommodate the growing needs of members. The clubhouse, which is nestled between sand dunes and a popular coastal caravan park, is at once a training centre, gear storage facility and second home to generations of lifesavers.

Elliott Heads SLSC has built a reputation for being a friendly, family-oriented club, with several generations of some families filling a variety of roles across the club. The club has enjoyed a variety of sporting successes over the years, with our teams and individuals winning state and national medals in beach and water events, IRB events and surfboat events, and Champion Lifesaver and patrol competitions. Regardless of the changes in both the lifesaving movement and some faces over the years, one thing never changes – and that is our members’ determination to collectively protect our beautiful beach and the people who use it.
