NORTHERN RIVERS FLOOD RELIEF

THE EVERYDAY AUSSIE HEROES REBUILDING FLOOD AFFECTED AREAS

In the aftermath of the devastating floods, countless hours, both official and volunteered, are being put in to support the long journey to recovery. The way the community has come together in areas most effected is nothing short of inspirational and we acknowledge there will be many unsung heroes as these regions recover. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Northern New South Wales community who invited us to help tell their story. We have created this series to bring more awareness to the ongoing efforts and support required for the flood relief clean up.

In this chapter of meet the legends we meet three every day Australians, Justin, Roman and Mariette whose lives have recently been uprooted by the natural disaster and we hear what we can do to make a contribution to aid them.
