Todays podcast is longer than normal but waiting a fortnight for Part2 was, I thought, too long, so here it is in its entirity.
Melanie has been drawn to helping those in trouble since she was a teenager. Prior to joining NSW Police, she was a volunteer at her local (NSW) Rescue Squad (part of the Volunteer Rescue Association) & after being part of the rescue effort @ the Thredbo Ski Village disaster in 1997,policing was her obvious next step. Mel retired after dealing with the consequences of a silly decision she made but which many of us might consider also, given the same circumstances. Even after Policing, Mel still helps save people in distress through the Good Samaritan App - something Victoria needs desperately.. .. .

By the end of his tenure, he had gained the respect of the community but the community also had gained Paul's respect. It was an experience which changed him forever. What he achieved is heart-warming stuff..... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
