Five months after his death, Jimmy McGrath, a longtime resident of New South Wales’ Far South Coast, was posthumously awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his decades of service to surf lifesaving and the community.

A mechanic, bartender, bus driver, and log truck driver, he co-owned a garage for nearly 40 years and was known for helping strangers, even diverting from family plans to assist stranded motorists.
