In September we ran the first half of a Boat Operator course. The second half of the course will be on 17 and 18 October.

We have 6 members from Bungendore and 2 from NSW SES - Braidwood Unit enrolled on this course.
NSW SES - Queanbeyan Unit provided a trainer and 2 boats. NSW SES - Goulburn Unit also sent subject matter experts and a boat. We greatly appreciate their support which helps us run this course.

Our members joined more than 100 NSW SES members from across the state last weekend.
They took part in the annual Wellington Wombats exercise at Wellington Caves.

Members put their rescue skills to the test in one of the Service’s most unusual training environments.
Over two days, they crawled, climbed and descended through the caves, practicing rope systems, rigging casualty management and rescue techniques in tight, dark and unfamiliar spaces.
Opportunities like these mean we practise vertical rescue skills, learn from one another and build our capability in realistic rescue scenarios.

Some of our unit members have joined this search today.

The multi-agency search for 18-year-old Lily Hooper continues in Nattai National Park for its sixth day.

About 200 NSW SES members have assisted in the search since Wednesday, including specialised Bush Search and Rescue teams who've searched through the night and camped out in remote parts of the national park.

Lily was last seen wearing a shirt and shorts, and her vehicle was located near the Bonnum Pic Walking Trail in the National Park.

⚠️ Anyone who sees her is urged to contact The Hume Police District or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

On Sunday, 20 members attended the unit to assist with our maintenance /cleanup day. These activities are conducted regularly to ensure our vehicles and equipment are fit and ready for operational purposes. Thank you to the lovely people at A Slice of Homemade by Anna who called in after the local markets to deliver a batch of beautiful homemade cupcakes for afternoon tea.
