I love to do this type of “local hero” story from time to time.

There is nothing like a community-minded individual who, having solved his own problem, wants nothing more than to help his community.

Added to this he shows no political motive in doing so. 

It is this kind of community spirit that made Australian towns work in the first place.

What if nobody thought this way any more, and we all end up existing as fee-paying clients of our governing bodies?

Not a happy thought.
