Australians also like to help their fellow Aussies! In time of catastrophe WE ARE All THERE TO HELP Aussies are not shy and we will dip into our pockets no matter how broke we are to help our fellow Australians when they are in trouble. VOLUNTEERING is a way of life for many of us. We join the bush FIRE BRIGADE; deliver meals on wheels, help train a dog for the blind, visit a person in hospital, become a SURF LIFE SAVER or just knock on doors to collect money for the red cross. Australia is a large land and we have a small population, and our country is subject to the whole range of natural disasters.

AUSSIES are fortunate that there are so many people willing to give up their time to help others.
