SEAFORTH now i could tell you some stories, my parents had their honeymoon there 60odd years ago then bought a beach house there, we spent every school hols there & when we couldnt work the cane farm at farleigh we were at seaforth, Next time you go to victor creek check out the seaforth boating club house. My dad had a wish to have a sea rescue club that operated during the week so that all the cane ****ys who couldnt work[ too wet, too dry etc] could go fishing & have coverage because the mackay sea rescue squad  only operated weekends. In 1981 my mum came to sydney to be with me when i had my bub, when she got home to seaforth [they had moved to the beach by then] she found her dining room set up with radios and was not happy. My dads dream was to have maybe a dozen monitors to man the radios day & night, i have no idea how many do it now but in those days the kids at the school were very involved  a lot of the locals were involved  & still are. He also hoped one day they would have a lock up maned safty area for cars & boat trailers etc, that only happened after dad died,he had members from all over australia the southerners who came up in winter all joined. I have no idea how many people were rescued over the years, dad died in1993 and things have gone on in leaps and bounds it makes me proud when i go home and see his wish has become a reality. Dad was mobile one, no one else will ever have that mobile number, well i have raved enough enjoy a wonderfull part of our country. My dads name  was Keith Trevaskis commonly known as mowy there is a plaque on the wall of the club house go in & have a look.
