Tomaree Triathlon Club Bounces Back

Port Stephens' SES heroes assist in Anthony 'AJ' Elfalak rescue

By Marian SAMPSON PORT Stephens SES volunteers are always ready to put their hands up to help not only the local community but the wider community whenever there is need. Last week saw the team join some 400 other emergency service workers and volunteers in a desperate four day search for a toddler lost in rugged terrain. Three year old Anthony 'AJ' Elfalak had simply gone missing from the family home. There were grave fears for the toddler. The dam was emptied. Thoughts turned to William Tyrell who went missing in 2014 - who has still not been found. Throughout the tough search members of Port Stephen SES Charlie 9 team were led by Greg ‘Bluey’ Chalmers. Bluey told News Of The Area, “On the Saturday night I was with a young group of SES volunteers guiding them through the search and process. “It was wet, we were in the middle of nowhere and I said ‘let’s have a break, have some water’.
