Marine Rescue NSW volunteers awarded Emergency Service Medal
'Bernie Gabriel ESM Point Danger' Marine Rescue NSW Click Here to view large photo
Marine Rescue NSW volunteers have been recognised for their contribution to safety on the water andthe NSW boating community in this year’s Queen’s Birthday honours. The three volunteers, Bernard(Bernie) Gabriel, David Lyall and Robert (Bob) Herbert, have today been awarded the EmergencyService Medal.
Mr Gabriel is the Unit Commander of Marine Rescue Point Danger. Mr Lyall is a member of Marine Rescue Broken Bayand the organisation’s property officer. Mr Herbert is the Regional Coordinator for the MRNSW Monaro region on theState’s South Coast.
In addition to the Emergency Service Medal recipients, Unit Commander of Marine Rescue Nambucca, Owen Rushton,received an Order of Australia Medal in recognition of his voluntary work in his local community.
MRNSW Commissioner Stacey Tannos congratulated the four members on the national recognition of theirdistinguished service.
'These awards are an opportunity to thank these volunteers – along with all the members of Marine Rescue NSW – fortheir work and commitment to serving the boating community,' Commissioner Tannos said.
'Our volunteers deserve our gratitude for their contribution to saving lives on the water and improving boating safety.
'They are often called upon to put their own safety at risk, turning out in the worst possible weather and seaconditions, to help boaters in need.
'They also give up valuable time with their families to attend training, support community events, conduct educationcourses for local boaters and raise funds for our organisation. Many also volunteer with other community groups aswell.
'They make a valuable contribution to the safety and wellbeing of our community without any expectation of reward orrecompense.
'Our members are a credit to our organisation and these awards today give us all a chance to say thank you to themall.'
Mr Lyall is a volunteer member of the Marine Rescue Broken Bay on Sydney’snorthern beaches and also one of a small group of support personnel whovolunteer their time to provide specific subject expertise to the managementof Marine Rescue NSW. Mr Lyall brings extensive experience, skill andenthusiasm to the management of the MRNSW property portfolio. One of theearliest and most demanding tasks faced in the startup phase of MRNSW(established in 2009) was the need to unify three separate asset portfoliosunder one umbrella. This painstaking operation would have been beyond theresources of the organisation without the commitment and time Mr Lyall hasdevoted to this task. He also advises on building and development projectsand issues.
Bernard (Bernie) Gabriel has made a longstanding commitment andcontribution to marine rescue, stretching back to 1965, when he became aFoundation Member of Air Sea Rescue (ASR) Tweed Heads, serving the TwinTowns region on the Queensland and NSW border. As a Skipper for more than20 years, Mr Gabriel has taken part in many rescue operations, particularly onthe hazardous Tweed River bar and assisted countless skippers who foundthemselves in trouble on the water. He also held the position of ChiefController for more than 11 years, Chief Training Officer and Vice President ofAir Sea Rescue for 14 years. Mr Gabriel has been the Unit Commander ofMarine Rescue Point Danger for three years and is a Life Member of MRNSW.
Robert (Bob) Herbert is a member of Marine Rescue Batemans Bay and has been the Regional Coordinator for theMRNSW Monaro Region since 2010. In this volunteer role, he is responsible for the coordination of vessels and radiofacilities and supports local units and Headquarters. He has been influential in assisting and encouraging members onthe South Coast to gain additional boating qualifications and fostered greater emergency services cooperation throughhis organisation of Search and Rescue Exercises. He has worked tirelessly on the establishment of MRNSW’s firstinland waterways units at Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene, helping recruit, train and equip 40 new recruits. He isnow working to establish another new unit on the Murray River.
Owen Rushton is the Unit Commander of Marine Rescue Nambucca and has been an active member of the rescuecommunity in Nambucca for more than 20 years, both on the water and with the VRA on land. In this time he hasoverseen the acquisition of two new rescue vessels and most recently, the completion of new premises on the water.He has participated in countless rescues and provided support to those who have lost loved ones in marine accidents.He has been media officer, training officer, president, captain and continues as Unit Commander. Owen’s services tohis community include a committed contribution to education with 27 years as a teacher and to local sport with 12years’ participation in the organisation of the Macksville Gift professional running race that attracts elite athletes fromacross Australia and around the world.

Marine Rescue NSW volunteers have been recognised for their contribution to safety on the water andthe NSW boating community in this year’s Queen’s Birthday honours. The three volunteers, Bernard(Bernie) Gabriel, David Lyall and Robert (Bob) Herbert, have today been awarded the EmergencyService Medal.
Mr Gabriel is the Unit Commander of Marine Rescue Point Danger. Mr Lyall is a member of Marine Rescue Broken Bayand the organisation’s property officer. Mr Herbert is the Regional Coordinator for the MRNSW Monaro region on theState’s South Coast.
In addition to the Emergency Service Medal recipients, Unit Commander of Marine Rescue Nambucca, Owen Rushton,received an Order of Australia Medal in recognition of his voluntary work in his local community.
MRNSW Commissioner Stacey Tannos congratulated the four members on the national recognition of theirdistinguished service.
'These awards are an opportunity to thank these volunteers – along with all the members of Marine Rescue NSW – fortheir work and commitment to serving the boating community,' Commissioner Tannos said.
'Our volunteers deserve our gratitude for their contribution to saving lives on the water and improving boating safety.
'They are often called upon to put their own safety at risk, turning out in the worst possible weather and seaconditions, to help boaters in need.
'They also give up valuable time with their families to attend training, support community events, conduct educationcourses for local boaters and raise funds for our organisation. Many also volunteer with other community groups aswell.
'They make a valuable contribution to the safety and wellbeing of our community without any expectation of reward orrecompense.
'Our members are a credit to our organisation and these awards today give us all a chance to say thank you to themall.'
Mr Lyall is a volunteer member of the Marine Rescue Broken Bay on Sydney’snorthern beaches and also one of a small group of support personnel whovolunteer their time to provide specific subject expertise to the managementof Marine Rescue NSW. Mr Lyall brings extensive experience, skill andenthusiasm to the management of the MRNSW property portfolio. One of theearliest and most demanding tasks faced in the startup phase of MRNSW(established in 2009) was the need to unify three separate asset portfoliosunder one umbrella. This painstaking operation would have been beyond theresources of the organisation without the commitment and time Mr Lyall hasdevoted to this task. He also advises on building and development projectsand issues.
Bernard (Bernie) Gabriel has made a longstanding commitment andcontribution to marine rescue, stretching back to 1965, when he became aFoundation Member of Air Sea Rescue (ASR) Tweed Heads, serving the TwinTowns region on the Queensland and NSW border. As a Skipper for more than20 years, Mr Gabriel has taken part in many rescue operations, particularly onthe hazardous Tweed River bar and assisted countless skippers who foundthemselves in trouble on the water. He also held the position of ChiefController for more than 11 years, Chief Training Officer and Vice President ofAir Sea Rescue for 14 years. Mr Gabriel has been the Unit Commander ofMarine Rescue Point Danger for three years and is a Life Member of MRNSW.
Robert (Bob) Herbert is a member of Marine Rescue Batemans Bay and has been the Regional Coordinator for theMRNSW Monaro Region since 2010. In this volunteer role, he is responsible for the coordination of vessels and radiofacilities and supports local units and Headquarters. He has been influential in assisting and encouraging members onthe South Coast to gain additional boating qualifications and fostered greater emergency services cooperation throughhis organisation of Search and Rescue Exercises. He has worked tirelessly on the establishment of MRNSW’s firstinland waterways units at Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene, helping recruit, train and equip 40 new recruits. He isnow working to establish another new unit on the Murray River.
Owen Rushton is the Unit Commander of Marine Rescue Nambucca and has been an active member of the rescuecommunity in Nambucca for more than 20 years, both on the water and with the VRA on land. In this time he hasoverseen the acquisition of two new rescue vessels and most recently, the completion of new premises on the water.He has participated in countless rescues and provided support to those who have lost loved ones in marine accidents.He has been media officer, training officer, president, captain and continues as Unit Commander.
