New Surf Boat at Mollymook Christened – Rodney Austin OAM

The Rod Austin OAM Surf Boat

Samantha Crockett reports on today’s event:

A very special morning on the beach, blessing Mollymook Surf Life Saving Club’s new surf boat, aptly named after our club’s President, the‘Rodney Austin O.A.M.’ What a gentleman, legend, role model and asset to our club.

Such a wonderful turn out from club members near and far. So lovely to see some of our Nippers witnessing the fraternity that this club is, friendship, family and respect for its long serving members, right through to life members.

Special thank you to the Butler duo who performed a beautiful indigenous blessing of the new boat to ensure the safety of the club’s rowers whilst competing and out to sea. Much respect.

Thank you Shoalhaven City Council Mayor Amanda Findley for taking some time out of your Sunday to share in the event and show your support.

And lastly to the sponsor of the boat, Holiday Haven Resort’s. Thank you for all of your support. I’m sure there will be many medals won for our club in our new boat thanks to your generosity.
