Volunteers to offer disaster relief
Caption image: Disaster Relief Australia members undertook chainsaw training at a fire-affected property at Budgeree recently, as part of a Latrobe City Council project to help the local community.
Volunteers are helping Latrobe City recover from the impacts of the Yinnar South bushfire that struck in March 2019 and also revitalise a popular tourism attraction.
The members of relief organisation Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) will remove fallen trees from private property and clear a section of the iconic walking route, the Grand Strzelecki Track.
DRA volunteers visited a property at Budgeree on Wednesday 9 December to train in the safe use of chainsaws before undertaking clean-up works, which will contribute towards their chainsaw certification. They plan to return in early January to complete more work.
