I believe it is one staff member and 40 volunteers.

Alot of work ahead of them, but hopefully they can stay safe.

It's Melbourne. Just remember to carry shorts/t-shirts and thermals and you'll be safe :P

Yes, I went along with 2 others from Kalamunda.

Had a great time, teamed up with Crash from Stirling & Russell, (now nicknamed Bingle) from Canning and a member from Port Fairy.

A lot of roof and window damage from hail, and lots of smashed skylights.
