Babar’s story

Описание: Babar’s story is not a tragic one but instead a common story that represents many of our multicultural communities – like many of the individuals and families that come to Australia for a better life, the coast and our amazing beaches are one of the most endearing and fascinating aspects of Australian life – one that we encourage our communities to get involved in and enjoy. Babar reached out to us following an incident at Seal Rocks where he struggled against the large swell. While Babar and his family enjoyed trips to the beach almost every weekend, the family never truly considered the dangers and risks associated with the ocean. After Babar managed to escape the water, at what was an unpatrolled beach, he decided that he needed to do more to protect his family from a similar situation. Babar now understand the importance of planning and preparation to ensure a safe day at the beach for himself and his family and has joined us to help spread the vital message that we cannot take our safety for granted, and we can all take steps to ensure we keep ourselves and our families safe at the beach - Beach safety starts at home.
