Kind-hearted souls from the maritime sector in Sydney have started purchasing for, and packing seafarer Christmas gift packs.
Each pack will contain deodorant, Allen’s lollies, soft toy Koala, boomerang, socks, a hand-made beanie and Chupa Chups (a type of lollipop).

Monies have been raised from Port Authority cutter crew, Port Authority of New South Wales, pilots, Tas Bull Foundation, Mission to Seafarers, Shipping Australia Limited, wharfies from Hutchison, the beanie-knitters and donations to Sister Mary.
This year the group hopes to budget $9 per seafarer and hopes to hand out 1,500 gifts.
