Australians have been encouraged to don an item of orange clothing as an expression of gratitude for the hard work of SES volunteers.
This ‘Wear Orange Wednesday’ – or WOW Day – landmarks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge have been lit up in the instantly recognisable hue.
From COVID-19 assistance to flood rescues, the last 18 months have proved particularly challenging for emergency services, NSW SES Deputy Commissioner Damien Johnston told Jim Wilson.
“It’s a fantastic day.
“I urge people within the community to say thanks … for those great volunteers that take time out from their busy lives to support the community.”
