North Barrier Branch Surf Life Saving

North Barrier Branch was established in 1936 and is home to seven Surf Life Saving Clubs. The clubs of North Barrier Branch patrol the beaches between Sarina (near Mackay) in the south and Forrest Beach (near Ingham) in the North, in environments varying from open beaches to rocky island coves, surrounded by reef and the added uniqueness that comes with Tropical Waters.
