In this episode, we meet Arnold Dix who became an unlikely hero in 2023.
In rural Victoria, Arnold Dix is known to locals as a farmer and a part-time truck driver.
But his name reached global recognition when he played a pivotal role in rescuing 41 Indian workers trapped after a deadly tunnel collapse. As a barrister, scientist and engineer, his intersection of skills made him the perfect person to ask for advice. Arnold dropped everything to help, and got on a flight. But when he reached India, he soon realised the role he'd actually need to fill would be one of leadership and hope.
