Not only is the camaraderie rewarding but the practical assistance from these safe, hard working men & women get the job done.
A few lovely members of the Sydney muslim community came up to do volunteer work during and after the bushfires up our way (Northern NSW) We've never forgotten how kind they were, helping feed and clothe our bushfire refugees, regardless of race or prejudice. Really lovely Aussies, all of them.

A conversation between Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson summed up 2025 for me – and not in a good way | George Monbiot
From merrily dismissing climate science, to promoting irresponsible health claims, the podcast was an unintentional warning for our times, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
