Happy Father’s Day! 💙

To all the amazing dads of Marine Rescue NSW, thank you for everything you do, both on and off the water.

Pictured are dad and daughter duo Geoff and Courtney from Marine Rescue Shellharbour. Courtney has been with the unit since 2020, while Geoff is Deputy Unit Commander and has been volunteering with the unit since 2009.

As for the quiet bloke in the middle… we’re still trying to get his story. He didn’t say much when we asked why he joined, but he certainly knows how to hold his pose. 😂

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures.
