Marine Rescue Victoria Point (VMR 441) is situated on the
coastal foreshores of Moreton Bay in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
at S27.34.722 E153.18.936 The Unit first
commenced operations in 1982 when
several dedicated members utilized an old caravan and a borrowed vessel
to assist any "Boaties" in distress. Although most of the records from
the early days are not available, it is estimated that the Unit has
since conducted well over 5,000 rescue's ranging from simple tow jobs
to participation in full scale search and rescue tasks. On present
records, it is estimated that over these eighteen years, the Unit
looked after some 25,000 boaties who logged on prior to departure and
handled a staggering 250,000 radio calls to and from recreational
mariners! The value of vessels assisting during this period is in
excess of $40,000,000! Persons safely returned to shore is believed to
be approximately 10,000!
