🚨 Calling on Our Amazing Community! 💙💛

We’re looking for 12–20 milk crates to help make sorting and transporting our bottles and cans much easier for our wonderful volunteers.

If you have any spare milk crates sitting around that you’re no longer using, we’d love to give them a new purpose! We’re happy to:

* 💙 Pick them up if you’re local.
* 💛 Pay a small amount if needed.
* ⭐ Or, even better, gratefully accept them as a donation to support our volunteer efforts.

Every crate will help make our recycling runs more efficient and allow us to continue raising funds for our unit.

If you can help, please send us a message or comment below. Thank you for supporting our volunteers and our community! 🙌

Congratulations to Mitch Harvey on being awarded Unit Life Membership at Marine Rescue Woolgoolga, presented by Deputy Unit Commander Lisa.

Mitch joined the unit as a 15-year-old and has dedicated the past 15 years to serving our community. From crew member to Master, Radio Operator to Watch Officer, and through countless weekends at BBQs and markets, his commitment has been exceptional.

Although we now share his talents with the wider Marine Rescue NSW family in his full-time role, his impact on our unit will always remain.

Congratulations also on recently receiving your National Medal. Thank you, Mitch, for 15 years of outstanding service and dedication to Marine Rescue Woolgoolga.

Today, we laid a tribute to our fallen brothers, Frank Petsch and William ‘Bill’ Ewen, who tragically lost their lives on Monday night on the Ballina Bar.

Our crew stood together in a minute’s silence to honour the ultimate sacrifice these two men made in the pursuit of our mission — Saving Lives on the Water.

Their dedication, courage, and commitment to protecting others at sea will never be forgotten. Our thoughts remain with their families, friends, the Marine Rescue Ballina team and all members of the wider marine rescue community during this incredibly difficult time
