A NSW contingent of SES volunteers has recently returned home after spending 12 days dealing with 2000 incidents in storm ravaged Queensland, due to unseasonable weather over the Christmas and New Year period.
Adam Smithers from the Gilgandra SES Unit was one of the 120 volunteers from across NSW. He joined a contingent from Dubbo, Orange and Bathurst, making up a western zone team.
“We were on a 1,3,1 deployment,” Mr Smithers said.
