Community Involvement

  • Gwongubungga Swim Program

    Over each of the school holidays, Neptune played host for a three-day experience combining practical water safety with cultural connection. With support from the Royal Life Saving Society Queensland and certified swimming instructors, participants engage in pool sessions, creek swimming, and a day at the beach, all while embracing their culture through Country and water.

  • Canungra Combat Challenge

    In teams of four, competitors take on a course of obstacles, bush trails and soldier exercises while raising funds to support Legacy Brisbane and their work supporting veterans' families. C3 is the first event of its kind on an active military base in Australia. 
    Neptune Provides water safety for the river crossoing section of this event, usually plucking a few participants a year from the near freezing water and helping others from the muddy banks.
