Water safety will be the top message when the Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter lands in Mildura next week.
While there’ll also be fun activities, Lifesaving Victoria says it’s also promoting the service the chopper provides keeping Victorian waterways safe.
Also locals are also being encouraged to ensure they’re aware of their surroundings when swimming in the Murray or local dams, including submerged items in the river.
The chopper will land at Apex Park next Thursday afternoon.
All community members are encouraged to come down to Apex Park to meet the crew, get up close and personal with the helicopter and talk water safety with Lachie the lifeguard mascot.
