Terranora photographer Odile Esmonde-Morgan snapped this photo on Friday of a Rural Fire Service helicopter at their neighbouring school oval, landing and taking off in torrential rain to deliver a big load of sandbags and other gear to the local SES crews. According to Odile, ‘Another chopper with the “NSW pollies” (to quote the local SES chief) was supposed to come in here too but they wanted to land at an airport so we didn’t get to see the celebs.’ For more photos visit http://photographybyodille.photomerchant.net/.
