'Absolute gold dust': Veterans helping #bushfire victims rebuild their lives. #abc730 @AngeDonnellan abc.net.au/news/2020-02-2…
@AngeDonnellan The recovery effort from the summer’s #bushfires is likely to take years, and the Army Reserve is playing a big role in the clean-up and rebuild. @TeamRubiconAus has also launched into action, a volunteer organisation made up mostly of veterans. #abc730
@AngeDonnellan @TeamRubiconAus “It’s had an incredible toll on me. I think physically, I’m just exhausted. I’m so fatigued it’s starting to affect me cognitively now and emotionally it’s just torn my heart out.” - Adam Weinert, former soldier who lost everything in the Adelaide Hills bushfires #abc730
@AngeDonnellan @TeamRubiconAus “They get back a feeling of identity in the grey shirt and most importantly they get back a sense of purpose and a feeling of value.” – @GeoffEvansAus on the @TeamRubiconAus volunteers. #abc730
@AngeDonnellan @TeamRubiconAus @GeoffEvansAus “Everywhere we go the community recognises our shirts, they recognise the work we’ve been doing and it’s just so uplifting to us to think we’re doing something to uplift this community.” - Bernie Reinke, @TeamRubiconAus volunteer #abc730
