A group of Fijian abattoir workers have helped rescue about 60 residents at a Lismore nursing home in Australia.
The entire township of Lismore on the far north coast of New South Wales has been evacuated as floodwaters reach heights not seen since 1974.
In an interview with The Ray Hadley Morning Show, Apenisa Marau says it was quite terrifying trying to get those elderly people out of their homes as floodwaters had entered the nursing home.
He says the residents of the nursing home were relieved when they saw them coming to the rescue.
Marau says they will be working in Australia for the next three years and this is one way of giving back to the community.
