Robyn - you could try writing to the Life Saving Club at Narrabeen. I would be most surprised if there was no requirement to keep some sort of log of events - especially rescues. You could also refer to daily Newspapers from the following day + 2 more to see if the story was newsworthy enough for publication, or Narrabeen local papers, if they are accessible. It is possible the surfers were known to the Lifeguards, as it does sound as if they could have been local and regular surfers, as they obviously knew the waters there, and were skilled at surfing. I do hope you find them - oooops, another thought. What about the 'Where are they now?' column in the Australian Women's Weekly? That is also worth a shot, I think. cheers, Nandina ----- Original Message ----- From: Robyn & Robert Kelly <rrkelly@origin.net.au> To: <AUSTRALIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 19, 2001 10:08 PM Subject: rescue from the surf 30 years ago > Dear listers, > This may seem a little off topic but I need some assistance if possible. > > Boxing Day thirty years on Narrabeen beach a friend of mine was rescued from > the surf at by two surfers (one male and one female).
