The Hindu and Sikh communities have rallied to support victims of the floods that have ravished parts of Sydney.

Melbourne Sikhs drove 12 hours to cook free curries for starving residents and others bought a washing machine just so SES volunteers would have a clean pair of pants.

A Sydney Hindu temple that was damaged by floodwater has still kept its doors open to shelter and feed the homeless, while other Hindus have braved the rain to supply nappies and muesli bars to cut-off communities.
