Peat Island Hospital has been gracious enough
to allow us to cohabitate near the gardening section
of its grounds. Our volunteers have worked hard with the result that we now occupy one of the best rescue stations of the Hawkesbury river and environs. We have
a base fully equipped with radios, TV, computer, 2 fridges,
a fully operational kitchen, air conditioning, conference table and
chairs, beds
[for overnight stays] toilet, shower, and BBQ facilities. In the summer one can enjoy the new outdoor
balcony. Hawkesbury River Rescue
Inc. is associated with the Volunteer Rescue Association of NSW and

Our rescue
vessel, Spirit of Brooklyn, is active most days on the river assisting people. Please take the time to note our sponsors and advertisers who help keep Hawkesbury River Rescue Base on-air..
