Welcome to our gallery. Here you can see some images of disaster-affected areas our team have worked in throughout Australia.

Goornong (Vic) - 2024

Located north-east of Bendigo, Victoria, Goornong was flooded following torrential rainfall.

Our volunteers were based in Bendigo to help the Goornong and surrounding communities recover.

Work performed included clearing of debris, leveling land and internal roads, fence repair and replacement, cleaning houses and sheds, helping restore paddocks for livestock, and advocating on behalf of the affected communities.

Our volunteering also included helping out other community groups and charities perform their work.

A massive appreciation to local businesses in Huntly and Bendigo for helping us achieve the results we achieved.  Equally, to all our volunteers, including the thirteen backpackers from across the globe.

Beaufort (Vic) - 2024

Bushfires wreaked havoc throughout Beaufort and Buangor resulting in many properties being damaged as well as productive farms being compromised.

Our volunteers were based in Ballarat for the period in which we assisted in replacing fences, clearing debris, securing properties and engaging with community to help get peoples lives back to normal.

Our volunteers also worked with other community and charitable groups in helping them achieve their missions for the community.

A special shout-out to our volunteers who jumped from helping in Goornong to immediately relocating to Ballarat to help with the Beaufort recovery.

Grampians (Vic) - 2025

Following the bushfires that occurred from the Christmas period in 2024, our army of volunteers were there to help people in their time of need, helping restore properties, clearing, removing and replacing fencing, removing and replanting trees, testing water, cleaning and so much more.

We set up a base camp at the Moyston Recreation Reserve where we proudly shared facilities with locals, sporting clubs and Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV).

Most of the work we performed was in Moyston and Pomonal.

Our camp was coordinated by our valued and experienced Coordinator, Lyn, who ran an efficient camp and managed our wonderful volunteers.

A huge thank you to all involved with our contribution to helping with recovering The Grampians.
