Jason Harvey, Craig Barlow and Kyle of the VRA , a NSW volunteer- bases rescue organisation took a run out on a swollen but decreasing Manning River this morning for a medical run to the isolate township of Croki, where waiting was Michele Bennett. The VRA men took a stroll through the flooded streets to see if any other people required help. Michele’s house had been inundated, the water coming up around 60-70cm. She is pictured with Mario Agis ( orange pants ) who made a measurement of the flood, comparing it with the 2021 flood event. Flooded homes and rescues are seen along the river. NSW. Australia

Enter sandman: the cleaner raking 50km of Sydney's famous beaches into morning neatness
Michael Weeks and his huge tractor remove tissues, cigarette butts, cans and other rubbish from Bondi, Bronte and Tamarama at night.
Michael Weeks occasionally brags about his job. Who else, he reasons, gets to drive a $100,000 machine while watching the sunset on some of the world's best beaches?
Weeks, 51, who is charged with mechanically raking Bondi, Bronte and Tamarama beaches, ridding their sand of rubbish and dirt. He waits until the beach is almost empty before driving Waverley council’s three-tonne John Deere 6110M tractor on to the sand and lowering its attached 1,200-pronged rake.
6 am at Bondi Beach and there is a hive of activity already with people exercising, 19 December 2023.

'The illegality is enormous': Turkey's quake cleanup may kill even more
Six months on, mountains of rubble, asbestos and heavy metals blight the landscape, threatening the health of communities already suffering from devastating loss.
Samanda? is one of at least 18 locations where authorities have dumped rubble across Hatay province, after two powerful earthquakes killed more than 60,000 people in south-east Turkey and northern Syria in early February. Trucks piled with valuable metal pulled from the remnants of demolished homes zigzag across the province, while thousands of damaged buildings are torn down, creating dust that blankets whole streets.
Six months on from the disaster, the people of Hatay now have to deal with the aftermath - and the long-term environmental and public health effects of the cleanup. Still grieving their human losses, people backed by lawyers and activists are now engaged in a bitter fight with local authorities that allow private companies to dump rubble in rivers, on wildlife reserves and in residential areas.
A priest (in black) and others clamber over rubble, after a bulldozer excavating the damaged ruins of a church in Antakya’s old city continues the search for lost belongings. Much of Antakya was destroyed by the huge earthquakes that struck the region on the 6th of February 2023. Hatay province, southern Turkey.

'The illegality is enormous': Turkey's quake cleanup may kill even more
Six months on, mountains of rubble, asbestos and heavy metals blight the landscape, threatening the health of communities already suffering from devastating loss.
Samanda? is one of at least 18 locations where authorities have dumped rubble across Hatay province, after two powerful earthquakes killed more than 60,000 people in south-east Turkey and northern Syria in early February. Trucks piled with valuable metal pulled from the remnants of demolished homes zigzag across the province, while thousands of damaged buildings are torn down, creating dust that blankets whole streets.
Six months on from the disaster, the people of Hatay now have to deal with the aftermath - and the long-term environmental and public health effects of the cleanup. Still grieving their human losses, people backed by lawyers and activists are now engaged in a bitter fight with local authorities that allow private companies to dump rubble in rivers, on wildlife reserves and in residential areas.
Rubble of destroyed homes from the 6th of February 2023 earthquake lays in a large dumping site a couple of hundred metres away from the Mediterranean Sea, people’s homes, a school, police station, and a container camp, in Samanda?, Hatay province, southern Turkey.
