Marine Rescue Port Jackson members to appear on new Discovery Channel series

Members of Marine Rescue’s Port Jackson unit based at Birkenhead Point on Sydney’s iconic harbour are to appear in a new Discovery Channel series airing from next month.

The volunteers from Port Jackson were involved in the filming of the Discovery Channel show Sydney Harbour Force over the summer of 2020-21, and have made it past the cutting room floor, appearing in 6 of the show’s 10 episodes!

During the filming, the Port Jackson volunteers were involved in several emergency responses on the harbour, showing their skills and abilities to the cameras and a world-wide audience estimated at well over 100 million.

The Australian premiere of Sydney Harbour Force is on Discovery Channel on Monday 11 April at 7.30pm.

Tune in, and keep a sharp eye out each week for MR Port Jackson Unit Commander Greg Urand and his volunteers aboard rescue vessels PJ30 and PJ31.

Happy viewing!
