A century in the making
Discover rare photographs, historical rescue equipment, and untold stories that chart our journey from humble beginnings to a century of lifesaving service.
At the heart of the exhibition is the first Inflatable Rescue Boat; a ground-breaking innovation that has transformed surf lifesaving around the world. Returning to its birthplace at Avalon Beach from the National Maritime Museum for our Centenary exhibit, "IRB 1" stands as both a symbol of ingenuity and a tribute to the visionaries who dared to challenge traditional rescue methods.
