Fwd: more quiet volunteers

My wife and I decided that Boxing Day was a good opportunity for a picnic at Christmas Tree Well. Unfortunately, the picnic area was crowded. Who were all these hundred or more people?

They were Police, SES, Ambulance, Salvation Army. Probably others. They had spent all of Christmas Day searching the bush for a lost person. Found that person (safe and well) and, on Boxing Day, could finally go home.

An amazing effort by an amazing group of people. I was not involved, but, thank you.
