Kirra Surf Life Saving Club

Kirra Surf Life Saving Club is the second oldest club in Queensland and owes its beginnings to a tragedy that occured on 6th January, 1916.

 

On that day two friends went swimming on the unpatrolled beach and immediately got into trouble. Sadly, one of the friends drowned. The local community acted swiftly and a public meeting was called on 7th January, 1916 where it was decided that the Kirra Surf Life Saving Club be formed.
