Great work to our lifesavers on Sunday afternoon performing a rescue for a gentleman who was swept 200 meters from shore due to a strong flash rip. Please remember to listen to lifesavers instructions and always swim between the red & yellow flags. To find out more about rips currents, head to beachsafe.org.au
It was a busy weekend along the south-east coastline with people still entering the water ignoring lifesavers advice.
#HAZARDOUSSURF ⚠️ 50 people now rescued across #QLD today, yet these beachgoers at closed Greenmount Beach chose to ignore lifesavers’ warnings. No flags = no swim. Don’t risk your (& our) lives. pic.twitter.com/z6U84vIXDD
