- <div><p>In February 1907, the Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club became Australia’s first recorded surf lifesaving club. The founding members established the Club with the central aim of ‘the rescue of the distressed’ in recognition that sea bathing was a danger for those who weren’t used to swimming at Sydney’s beaches. Other clubs then began to form nearby, leading to the establishment of the Surf Bathing Association of New South Wales (now Surf Life Saving NSW). These clubs spread nationwide, solidifying surf lifesavers as an iconic symbol of Australia.</p><p>The Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club remains in operation to this day, rescuing over 12,000 swimmers and surfers every year.</p></div>

- productDescription:
- <p>Bobby Goldsmith was an active member of the Sydney gay community who became the first publicly-recognised death from HIV-AIDS related illness in NSW. His diagnosis came in the early days of the AIDS epidemic when treatment options were severely limited. Bobby and his partner were forerunners in improving the care of AIDS patients and his passing in 1984 inspired the establishment of the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation – Australia's oldest HIV charity – which continues to provide specialised HIV care for patients across the state.</p>
