Marine Rescue NSW Deputy Commissioners Alex Barrell and Todd Andrews have headed into the outback, visiting Marine Rescue’s farthest-flung unit at Moama on the Murray River in the south west of the state.
Also accompanying the deputies on their visit was Zone Commander South, Mike Hammond.
At Moama, the trio inspected the unit’s facilities including its two rescue vessels, and held discussions with the Moama Unit Commander Luke Sharrock and his deputy Anthony Clark, before joining unit members for dinner.
The trip are making their way east today to Marine Rescue’s other inland unit, the Alpine Lakes, based in the Snowy Mountains town of Jindabyne.
