Team Bray lend a hand in storm's aftermath

While waiting for the team transporter to arrive home from Perth. Team Bray this week has lent a hand to help Brisbane repair damage from one of the biggest storms to hit the city in two decades.

The severe storm battered Brisbane on Sunday doing more damage than cyclone Larry as it hit highly populated areas, tearing off roofs, bringing down trees and power lines, leaving many without livable homes and a repair bill that is expected to be around 1.5 billion dollars.

Team Principal Victor Bray said "Two of my crew returned home on Monday from Perth to a vary second hand home with a lot of roof and water damage due to 4, 30 foot pencil pine trees from their neighbors that had landed on their house.

Armed with a KÄRCHER high-pressure cleaner and 2 chainsaws Victor and Ben set off early Tuesday morning to help their team mates with their clean up and have just moved from house to house.

``One of the greatest strengths of Australian's is that when major natural disasters such as this strike anywhere in the country, community spirit support is always at the four front.,'' Ben said.

``At times like this, there is no such thing as an individual - everyone pulls together in one, to help those in the community who are in real need.'' We have just been cleaning, clearing fallen trees, debris and the SES workers would tarp roofs, clear roads, etc he said.
