Welcome to Point Lookout SLSC |
|
|
|
Point Lookout SLSC is the most northern club in the Qld South Coast Branch. It is situated
on a rocky headland on the north eastern tip of North Stradbroke Island, 50 km east of Brisbane.
There is no bridge to the mainland so the members travel to the island by barge or water taxi and then
by road across the island to the clubhouse.
|
|
Apart from the unusual feature of being based on an island, the
club continues the strong tradition of Surf Lifesaving through both its junior and senior membership. Younger members of the club are well represented through Nippers with parents actively encouraged to participate.
|
During the summer months up to three beaches are patrolled:
- Main Beach
- Cylinder Beach
- Flinders Beach
|
|
Facilities at the club house include a supporters club and bar with magnificent views of
Main beach and the headland. The club is available for function hire during the off-season.

Mooloolaba SLSC |
 |
| A huge thank you to the Management and members of Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club Inc. for providing us with a 14 seater bus for 12 months.
We have been without transportation for our members to get to and from patrols on North Stradbroke Island, and this bus is absolutely invaluable for us to provide lifesaving services on the island.
We are truly indebted to you.
