Nippers
We had a HUGE team from Killcare turn up at Terrigal Beach to
participate in the Central Coast
Championships. And boy oh boy
did they do us well! Included were
several 'first timers' at carnivals
too, and they all put nerves aside
and came away with some awesome results! But more than than
that, everyone was having fun,
making new friends (with the opposition!!), and cheering each other on...which is exactly what the
Nipper movement is all about!!
KEEP HAVING FUN KILLY
KIDS!!!

Beach Safety Tips — Blue Ringed Octopus
The blue ringed octopus is a beautiful, but deadly creature. Blue
ringed octopus are commonly
found in the shallow rock pools of
the inter-tidal zone, hiding
amongst the rocks. They can be
extremely well camouflaged, only
displaying their blue rings when
threatened. The bite is usually
painless, from a beak under the
body. Numbness of the lips and
tongue may occur with weakness
and breathing difficulty developing
rapidly. Severe untreated bites
may lead to death.
If someone is bitten you should:
1. Contact EMERGENCY TRIPLE
ZERO (000) immediately
2. Proceed with CPR if necessary.
3. Apply compression or immobilisation bandaging to the area.
4. Spontaneous breathing usually returns in 3-10 hours.
