We have had some people injured on the Great Walk at Conway Park, Mr Connors said. To stretcher somebody out without this device would probably take 20 to 30 people over the distances we are talking about. This would allow one or two people to move the same distance with less effort. With many islands in the Whitsundays with lots of remote tracks, the stretcher and trolley can also be put on a VMR vessel to help with rescues and will also fit in the back of the SES s ATV vehicle. New equipment has been handed over to Whitsunday SES members at a ceremony in Proserpine.

Kizziah Sinoro and St Patrick’s School Young Vinnies group have made 50 gift boxes for families in need.
Boxes filled with toys, stationary and games will make their way to families in need throughout Southland thanks to the efforts of students at St Patrick’s School in Invercargill. The students made about 50 boxes to be donated to St Vincent de Paul Society. St Patrick’s School teacher Leigh Munro said each classroom had the task of filling two boxes, one for a boy and one for a girl. Students contributed by bringing items to school to be put in the boxes, Munro said.
