Deliveries in the dust! #buyanotherbale
7 happy farming families in Peak Hill after 2 trucks arrived with their donated feed #droughtrelief #ruralaid
Watching on as 40 farmers get their long awaited delivery of hay 👩🌾👨🌾#droughtrelief #buyanotherbale #aussiefarmers
“Worrying is like walking around with an umbrella waiting for it to rain.”
But we still worry and wait for the rain. Took a day trip out past Somerset Dam and was confronted with many dry creek beds, some water and the dry cracked earth where water should be.
In 37 deg cel heat and clear blue skies, I think we will be waiting a while for that rain. Please be aware and careful of the dry conditions.
To each other...be kind.

Australia, it’s time to #BuyAnotherBale
In 2018 / 2019 over 90,000 Australians bought a bale of hay for our farmers. This allowed us to provide hay, water and financial assistance to farmers in the worst hit areas.
The drought isn’t over, in fact our farmers are currently experiencing the worst drought in recorded history. So let's show our farmers that we're all in this together and #buyanotherbale today! Link in Bio
