John and Anna had a surprise visit last week while they were servicing the Burdekin Council Depot!

Lucky for them it was only a Brown Tree Snake, part of the colubrid family. They are weakly venomous, but are not normally regarded as dangerous to humans.

When you are living in the tropical North of Australia you just never know when a snake might show up!

Do you know what to do if you are bitten by a snake?

Talk about views 😍😍

Last week one of our technicians headed out to the Port of Townsville to service some of our marine kits.

Pros: getting to have views like this while you work
Cons: wishing you could be out on the water instead of heading back to the warehouse 😂

Stick around to see where else servicing takes us!

Just one of the perks for working out in the field servicing kits...you get to enjoy stunning views like this.

Last month John went out to service the Sunwater Burdekin Dam Sites which have finally stopped flowing since Nov 2024!

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to Sarah and Kieran from the Abacus Motel in Mt Isa.

During John's most recent trip out west, he had a fall in his room, knocking him unconscious and leaving him with a concussion. Being so far from home and on his own, you can only imagine how scary this was to his family who were unable to help.

Sarah and Kieran flew into action after receiving a phone call from Anna. They were able to go check on John and call an ambulance in a timely manner, getting John assistance at record pace.

Sarah and Kieran's generosity didn't end there though. They made sure that John got back to the motel safely after being discharged from the hospital, as well as picking up Anna from the airport so she could help John get home safely.

They truly went above and beyond, and we couldn't be more grateful for their help.

Can you believe Easter is just around the corner? I can't. It feels like this year is just flying by.

This is a good reminder to check your first aid kits before going away for the holidays and get into the warehouse for a restock or purchase a ready to use kit!

We will be closed between 18th - 21st April, and back to regular business hours Tuesday 22nd April.

With many of you planning on heading away camping these school holidays have you thought about your first aid kit?

Most camping sites are remote and away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I mean, that's why we go camping in the first place right?

If one of your family members were to be injured and need medical help, it could take some time for MedVac, or an ambulance to get to you, so is your first aid kit stocked if something were to happen?

Some things to think about to help you prepare before you head away:

How many people are you travelling with?
What risks are involved in where we are travelling: Snakes or spider bites? Hiking and risk of a fall? Etc.
Is my first aid kit stocked to support my family if something were to happen until paramedics arrive?

We have kits of many sizes that will suit you for any scenario. Come by the warehouse or give us a call so we can help you be safe this school holidays.

Already have a first aid kit? We can service it for you to save money and keep you and your family safe!

Have you heard of this? The Golden Hour is a term used to describe the first 60 minutes after a traumatic injury has occurred. After this hour, if medical attention isn’t received, the chance of survival decreases significantly, and loss of life can occur.

This is why it is so important for each of us to be first aid trained and always have a first aid kit readily available, so that first aid can be administered while you wait for paramedics to arrive on scene.

We know many of our clients and followers live in remote and rural parts of North Queensland where emergency services are more than an hour away. Your initial first aid is critical in the survival of your friend or family member. Are you prepared?

Head to the link in our bio to read more about it.

Hope everyone is staying dry with the extended wet season we are having.

Due to flooding the business is closed today.

Remember if it's flooded, forget it. Stay home, safe and dry.
