Safety Information

Lady Musgrave Island is a remote coral cay. Strong winds, rough seas and cyclones can isolate campers. To enjoy a safe visit ensure you are prepared for emergencies, make yourselves familiar with the following – • Monitor weather forecasts and radio messages about changing weather conditions and possible evacuation. • Carry emergency food, water and medical supplies. • Mobile phones are useful but not reliable. A marine VHF radio is preferred. In an emergency you can contact VMR 477 Round Hill or VMR488 Bundaberg both available from 7am – 6pm on Marine VHF Channel 81 also the Queensland Police Service monitor Marine VHF Channel 81 24 hours a day. Please take note and keep these details with you. • Lady Musgrave Island has an emergency radio on the toilet block deck. This provides emergency contact with the Volunteer Marine Rescue in Bundaberg. • Protect yourself from biting insects. Wear insect repellent to deter bird ticks. If bitten, carefully lever them out with tweezers, then disinfect the area around the bite. Large centipedes are active at night, especially in wet weather. Shake out bedding, clothing, footwear and dive gear. Bites usually result in local pain and some swelling, lasting only a short time. Treat with ice (if possible). • Do not camp beneath large or brittle Pisonia tree branches. They can break and fall unexpectedly. • Treat cuts, grazes and even the smallest of scratches carefully and immediately. Iodine is your first aid essential. • Take extra care during summer. Take precautions to avoid sunburn and heat exhaustion. On hot days, drink plenty of water and stay in the shade if possible. • Be aware of tides and currents whilst in the water and never dive or snorkel alone. This schedule is a guideline only and is subject to change. Our crew will brief all campers on the day’s procedures upon arrival.
