A simple gesture by Australia Post delivery driver Gurpreet Singh has captured the hearts of more than a million people online and landed him on national television.
Queensland’s Verrity Wandel shared on Facebook how Singh not only placed her parcel safely under cover during a downpour but also took the extra step of bringing in her laundry from the clothesline.
Wandel’s post has since gone viral, generating more than 1,047,700 interactions on Instagram.
“All because this beautiful human Gurpreet delivered my parcel and it started to rain, so he put my parcel under cover and also put my sheets from the line. His random act of humanity has been recognised by over a million people,” Wandel said in a post on Facebook.
Wandel and Singh have already appeared in interviews with Channel 7 and Channel 9, with segments scheduled to air on the evening news. The pair will also feature on Channel 9’s Today Show and have been approached by Channel 7’s Sunrise.
