pambula sign on the South Coast shows the inspiring acts of kindness

‘Why I love my hometown’: How a note outside a humble home on the South Coast is one of many inspiring acts of kindness for the thousands fleeing the deadly bushfire zone

  • Anita Glover, 43, saw a heartwarming sign strung near a front door in Pambula
  • The sign, in southern NSW, read: ‘Evacuees can use tap on right side of house’ 
  • ‘Knock for food or shower, tent sites, or dog minding or help in general’ 

Anita Glover posted a picture to social media on Thursday which encapsulates the spirit of generosity that is taking hold on the NSW South Coast as tens of thousands are forced to flee apocalyptic bush fire conditions.

While out buying supplies in her hometown of Pambula, Ms Glover, 43, stumbled upon a humble weatherboard home with a handwritten sign strung outside. 

‘Evacuees can use tap on right side of house, knock for food or shower, tent sites, or dog minding or help in general,’ the note hanging from the corrugated iron roof says.

The note ends with a heart and shows how all those affected by the south coast bushfires are rallying together for support after the horrific fires that have killed seven and destroyed at least 392 homes. 

‘I just thought it was great, the generosity, and people thinking of other people that have been evacuated,’ Ms Glover said.

Others have responded to the image calling it ‘beautiful’ and ‘morale boosting’.

A mass rescue operation is under way as thousands of threatened residents and holidaymakers remain trapped by out-of-control bushfires burning across two states.

Towns are running out of fuel and water, shops are selling out of basic supplies and more fatalities are expected as fires raging across southern Australia are set to get worse by Saturday.

Helicopters will help evacuate 4,000 people stranded at Mallacoota in Victoria’s East Gippsland and the largest ever relocation of people from the New South Wales South Coast is taking place.

Telecommunication lines and the internet are down in some isolated towns and communities have been told to boil water which may not be safe to drink.

A seven day state of emergency has been declared in NSW as the state prepares for conditions to worsen on Saturday with 46C temperatures and strong winds.
