Special alpine training Lake Eucumbene and Lake Jindabyne are two of the largest inland lakes in Australia and are visited by many locals and tourists all year round. A lake of services to patrol the lakes means that there have been multiple drownings and accidents over the years. This is why the first Marine Rescue NSW unit in the state based on inland waters will be very welcome
on our Alpine lakes. The Alpine Lakes Marine Rescue unit has two larger vessels based on Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene, but has the ability to attend to emergency’s at other surrounding lakes and waters. The unit in this area is made up of 42 fully trained and licensed volunteers who will be patrolling the lakes and
available 24 hours each day, across all seasons. The unit commander, Les Threlfo is no novice when it comes to running Emergency Organisations or dealing with the community, he is very well respected throughout Emergency Service organisations and also throughout the wider community.
