Navy helicopter lands at boat ramp parking opposite Anglers Rest, Greenwell Point

This Navy helicopter made an emergency landing at the Greenwell Point boat ramp parking opposite Angler’s Rest last Wednesday after experiencing a transmission fault alarm when 5nm out to sea. The Navy ordinarily use the Agusta A109E Power helicopter for training, public relations and recruiting activities, and in keeping with their training the Navy crew very kindly took some snap shots of Anglers Rest customers posing with the helicopter while they waited for another helicopter to land with the necessary stuff to get back in the air. Thanks for the entertainment!!!

Thank you to Shoalhaven Marine Rescue

Marine Rescue’s SAREX (Search and Rescue Exercise) saw Police & Rescue boats, crewed by volunteers from the region ready for action first thing Sunday morning. Training exercises were held over the weekend & volunteers accommodated at Angler’s Rest. Under perfect conditions the volunteer rescue teams found the dummy dropped by a navy helicopter without a hitch on Sunday. Good on ya, thanks for all your volunteer efforts & choosing Greenwell Point & Angler’s Rest for your accommodation again this year.

Speed boats line the beach in the Squidgie Southern Bream Series Fishing Comp.

Last Sunday Greenwell Point played host to about 70 speed boats and kayaks in the Squidgie Southern Bream Series. With 70+ teams in the SSBS, the beach opposite Angler’s Rest was abuzz with shiny speed boats, kayaks & eager fishermen. With speeds of 100+kph I was caught thinking how much fun speedy fishing (or not fishing) could be, but not for long – 50 or so marine rescue personnel were waiting for their coffee…

Fresh fish for lunch at Greenwell Point

One sunny day last August a couple of lucky dudes flew their seaplanes down from Sydney to Greenwell Point for some fresh fish. They promised to come back in September and take Simon for a joy ride. His fingers and toes remain crossed. I am still a darker shade of green, and going home for more fresh Greenwell Point fish.

“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” ~ Roger Caras

Australian’s love pets. A pet is a major part of the family (apparently 63% of households have a pet) so it’s important to be able to holiday with your dog. At Angler’s Rest our family holiday accommodation is dog friendly, so your dog is welcome on your holiday, to stay inside or outside your accommodation. Also, our cabins have gated decks that are great for keeping dogs happy on holidays.

Boat Hire

Last Easter school holidays Angler’s Rest hosted Koori Communications Catch N Cook “how to fish” program. School children were gathered from around the Shoalhaven to participate in the multi award winning “how to fish” school holiday program. The week long holiday program hired most of our boats every day and ensured everyone had fun meeting new friends and mentors while catching some fish for dinner. Well done to Peter and Sarah for running such a terrific school holiday fishing program.
