On Saturday, 17 December 2022, Santa enjoyed his annual tour of Helensburgh and Stanwell Tops, travelling via fire truck thanks to NSW Fire & Rescue's Station 325.

It was a fantastic start the summer school holidays, with all the good children in Helensburgh and Stanwell Tops lining up along footpaths to wave to Santa and receive their lolly bags.

Thanks to Station 325, Kirrily Sloane for organising the lolly donations from Tradies Helensburgh and to Helensburgh Lions Club, long-time sponsors of the Santa Run.
