SEA KIDS DAY:
Gosford City Council in partnership with Ocean and Coastal Care Initiatives (OCCI) and Hunter Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority will be holding a Sea Kids Day at Ocean Beach Surf Club on Thursday 19 January 2012 from 10am – 1pm.
The event is designed for children aged 3-12 years to engage in and discover the wonders of the local marine environment.
Volunteer groups such as OCCI, Waterwatch and Australian Seabird Rescue will provide opportunities for both children and adults to explore issues surrounding our local marine environment.
Gosford City Council’s Environmental Education Officer, Ms. Maree Whelan says that Sea Kids is an event to help young people explore and investigate what lies under the sea.
“This is a fun and educational day with great support from OCCI and the Hunter Central Rivers Catchment Management Authority.
“A highlight will be the live touch table where kids can feel and learn about our local sea creatures.
“There will also be marine story time, water quality testing activities, great giveaways and displays,” said Ms. Whelan.
Children will need to be supervised by their parents at all times.
For further information contact Gosford City Council on 4325 8222, and for the complete timetable of activities visit Council’s website |

SWIM BETWEEN THE FLAGS:
If you are visiting the Centtral Coast please adhere to the safety signs for our local beaches and the lifeguards.
In the first 2 days of 2012 there were 200 savings by lifeguards on patrolled beaches.
Below are safety ratings and local Surf Life Saving Clubscontacts. |
THE BEACHES |
 The Central Coast Beaches:
Probably the biggest attraction for visitors to the Central Coast of NSW are our pristine beaches. Folks have been flocking here from near and far for many years to enjoy the carefree relaxation that can only be had by a day at the beach.
Surfing, swimming, sailboard, it doesn't matter. We have a beach on the coast to suit your likes and desires.
Our major beaches are patrolled beaches. Volunteer lifesavers and professional lifeguards patrol them.
Professional lifeguards, employed by Councils, are paid to work 5-7 days each week on the majority of The Coast's most popular beaches. They are recognised as wearing long sleeved white shirts with blue collars and cuffs and the word "LIFEGUARD" in red letters. In some instances they wear the red and yellow uniform which is much the same as the volunteer lifesavers.
The volunteer lifesavers are on duty for lifesaving patrol on most weekends and public holidays during our swimming season.
Volunteer lifesavers are members of Surf Life Saving NSW. In some areas, Councils engage Surf Life Saving Services, affiliated with Surf Life Saving NSW, to provide contracted lifeguard services to patrol beaches during the week.
Our beaches would not be the safe places we have come to appreciate if it wasn't for the thousands of volunteer surf lifesavers who patrol them every summer.
