Tony is a long-time resident of the Wollombi area up near Broke. He moved there with his partner in 1992.
His story concerns the 2022 Broke and Bulga and Wollombi flood situation. He has a unique perspective because of his long association with the Rural Fire Service (RFS) and community support.
During floods, the community reaches out for help and support from existing community organisations and the RFS played a pivotal role in the 2022 floods.
