00:18 Tell us about the community support.

00:21 We've been overwhelmed. We've had the command post set up here at the golf course.

00:25 We've been overwhelmed from day one which was in the night, it commenced, very cold.

00:31 It didn't stop people, didn't deter people.

00:34 A huge response from the community that's come in to help us.

00:38 Volunteer searchers combing the golf course, driving their cars around the street,

00:43 walking along the edge of the roadway, shining their torches into culverts and things.

00:48 It must have been over 50. I was very, very pleased.

00:52 We've had a certain stop then, the next day and the day after today.
