We are excited to announce that Lucinda Light, star of the 2024 season of Married at First Sight, will be bringing her sparkle to the Byron Coastal Charity Walk on Saturday 4 May.

Lucinda said, “I'm delighted to be part of this inspiring charity event with all of you! Returning to Byron, my heart's home, is always a joy, especially for such a wonderful cause. My mum and I will be joining you for 12km of the walk, and I invite you to join me for a sunset stretch class the night before! Expect a blend of gentle hatha with a sprinkling of comedy, philosophy, and free flow. I can't wait to see you all there and give you a big hug!”

As a bonus, participants registered in the Byron Coastal Charity Walk will be treated to a sunset stretch session with Lucinda on the evening before the event.

This is the perfect opportunity to get together with your friends and raise money for a great cause. Register now or support Lucinda's walk via link in bio!

Over the weekend the Westpac #RescueHelicopter responded to two swimmer rescues. We want to encourage you all to #StaySafe around our waterways these school holidays.

On Friday 12 April, the Westpac #RescueHelicopter was tasked by #NSWAmbulance to #PinniBeach near #LakeMacquarie to reports of a person struggling in heavy surf and in close proximity to rocks and sea caves. After a brief search in darkness, the person was located and the NSW Ambulance critical care paramedic was winched into the water to secure the female swimmer. The woman, suffering hypothermia, was winched into the aircraft and airlifted to the #Belmont base where she was stabilised and transported by road to John Hunter Hospital.

A man in his 60s, suffering a serious medical condition, was treated by paramedics and the helicopter’s critical care medical team before being airlifted to #GoldCoast University Hospital.
