SES Swan Hill Unit

28/05/2026

Last night our SES volunteers headed out to Swan Hill Airport for important training on manually placing emergency runway lights out on the runway if they’re ever needed during a system failure or emergency situation.
A big thank you to Kerry and his team from Swan Hill Rural City Council for sharing their knowledge and taking us through the process.
Training like this ensures our volunteers are prepared to respond safely and effectively when called upon.
We appreciate the teamwork and support that helps keep our community and local airport safe💡✈️

Driving in fog is highly dangerous due to severely reduced visibility and longer stopping distances. To stay safe, reduce your speed, turn on your low-beam headlights or fog lights (never high beams).

Today marks the start of National Road Safety Week. This year's theme is 'Pledge to Drive so Others Survive', giving us all an opportunity to make sure we're looking out for each other on the roads.

To start the week, it is important to remember the 1,300 lives lost on Australian roads each year. Over 40,000 people are also injured each year on our roads.

All road users have a small but important role to play in helping to reduce lives lost and injuries.

Emergency services have a vital role in responding to accidents, saving lives and making sure road users are driving safely. Shout out to the following Victorian emergency services that respond to incidents and proactively keep us safe:

CFA (Country Fire Authority)
Fire Rescue Victoria
Victoria State Emergency Service
Ambulance Victoria
Victoria Police
Echuca Moama Search & Rescue Squad
Shepparton Search and Rescue Squad

After a very successful 2025 Lake Boga Bank 2 Bank we have made a donation of $500 to the Swan Hill SES Unit!

They monitor the course and ensure that all our swimmers are safe and within distance of their support paddler. We are grateful for the ongoing support from the SES in helping our event promote the Lake Boga and surrounding community!
