The early years – Hughie Graham
Hughie Graham first became involved in Life saving at the age of 14 years at the Edithvale Club. Over the next few years he gained Elementary, Proficiency, Bronze Medal, Surf Medal, Award of Merit and finally his Teacher and Instructor Certificates.
He worked with the Edithvale Club until 1929 when he moved to Yallourn to work, due to the lack of work around Edithvale during the Depression.

My Yallourn Year
As an SEC Cadet Engineer, I had a year in Yallourn. I started work at Yallourn Power Station in December 1963, and after 6 months, the Workshops for the rest of the time. I lived at the Staff Mess, which was in the area now a vacant carpark just outside the old Main Gate. In February 1964, I joined the CMF 38 Field Squadron, and was an Asst Scout Leader at 1st Yallourn Group. We had Cubs-Scouts Going-Up Ceremonies using a rope bridge set up across an old WW2 anti-aircraft pit.
