Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad
Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (09:54): I also attended the Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad in Blairgowrie the other day, which was fantastic. Murray Grey, the president, and Denis Baguley, the secretary, took us through, showed us the watchtower, talked us through the volunteers – the growth in volunteers that they are having and how they are there during the busy period right through the day. The big team involves two boats out on the water. This is volunteer led. The funds have been put together by volunteers, and they are keeping people safe out on the bay every week, whether that is saving lives or getting people from broken-down boats or whatever, they are making a huge impact.
