Marine Rescue Queensland (MRQ) is Queensland’s state-wide volunteer marine rescue service, dedicated to saving lives at sea and supporting those on or near the water. In an emergency, always call Triple Zero (000) or use VHF Channel 16. We ask everyone engaging with our social med

ia channels to be respectful at all times. We respect everyone’s right to express their thoughts and opinions, and we encourage constructive and respectful discussion. Please treat other users with courtesy and kindness. If you disagree with someone, please explain your point of view respectfully. We actively moderate this page – along with our other social media channels – to help create an online community that reflects the values of service, respect, teamwork and safety that underpin Marine Rescue Queensland. Please remember our moderators are people too. They work to ensure this community remains a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Opinions posted by users of this page do not necessarily reflect those of Marine Rescue Queensland. We aim for open and constructive dialogue, but please:
• Be respectful. Do not post anything that could be considered off-topic, inflammatory, repetitive, vexatious, offensive or abusive. Content that breaches Facebook’s Terms or our Community Guidelines may be removed or hidden, and users may be banned from our channels where necessary. This is not a decision we make lightly.
• Keep conversations constructive.
• We welcome healthy discussion and different opinions, but personal attacks, harassment, bullying or hateful commentary directed at individuals, volunteers, staff, partner organisations or other community members will not be accepted.
• Do not post spam. This includes repeated posts, unsolicited advertising, repetitive comments, chain posts, or content designed to disrupt conversation.
• Keep it family friendly. Do not swear or use obscenities, including offensive abbreviations, coded language or letter substitutions intended to bypass moderation.
• Protect privacy and safety. Do not publicly share personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, medical information, vessel registration details or financial information.
• Stay on topic. Please try to keep comments relevant to the post and the broader mission of Marine Rescue Queensland.
• Do not share emergency incidents or unverified information. For the safety and privacy of those involved, please avoid posting unconfirmed operational information, distress situations or emergency response details that have not been officially released by MRQ or emergency services.

For those following along at home, you’ll be pleased to see Fred/a is now in his/her new home having been ably relocated by Finance Co-ord Janelle.

Volunteerism at its best; thanks Janelle.

Tuesday Maintenance Day is always a happy and fulfilling day…except if you’re ‘Fred/a’ the roof possum in a trap. While there’s ’something for everyone in MRQ’, this doesn’t extend to possums who are determined to ‘reorganise and make deposits’ in the admin cupboard. Fred/a has now been relocated and will be far happier in her natural environment.

Fred became ‘Fred’ quite quickly but closer inspection suggests she’s Freda.
