So this Australia Day, the Tooheys New Crew and the NSW Origin Legends will be coming to revamp the local Broulee Surfers Surf Life Saving Club and to host the biggest Beach Bash Broulee has ever experienced.

Headed by rugby league legend Paul “The Chief” Harragon, the Tooheys New Crew is a team of skilled tradies and good mates who complete favours in the form of building projects for communities across Australia.

In 2011, the Crew’s inaugural year, they completed an incredible one million beers worth of favours and are on the road to do it again this year with the renovations at Broulee marking the beginning.

In the spirit of Australia Day, the Crew along with NSW Origin Legends Max Krillich, Blocker Roach and Paul Sironen, and the help of local volunteers, will rectify the problems with the current deck and viewing platform that was recently condemned by the local Council.

With the deck out of action, the Clubhouse, which also doubles as a Community Centre, has come to a standstill in the busiest time of the year — so the Tooheys New Crew jumped at the chance to get involved. While the Crew are there, they’ll also give the club a face-lift with a much needed paint job.

Paul Harragon believes that the Tooheys New Crew is all about fostering community spirit by doing favours for mates that have a lasting positive impact on communities.

Harragon feels the Broulee Surfers Surf Life Saving Club definitely deserve a helping hand from the Crew, following their recent highly commended award for Rescue of the Year, and their citation for their response to a helicopter crash at Lilli Pilli.

“The Crew are excited to improve the facilities at Broulee Surfers Surf Life Saving Club and are more than happy to lend a hand to a group of people who deserve recognition for their outstanding efforts and dedication to saving lives,” Harragon said.
