Convoy of Hope: 1,500 Hay Bales Bring Relief to Drought-Stricken South Australian Farmers

Amidst the dry, cracked earth of South Australia's Mid North, a heartwarming story unfolds. A convoy of 24 trucks, organized by the Rapid Relief Team (RRT), recently delivered 1,500 bales of hay to farmers struggling with severe drought. Truck driver Jon Arnot, a volunteer, described the journey as emotionally taxing, stating, “There’s poor sheep in the paddock. There was just no feed.” The sheer scale of the operation, captured in the video, is striking. The convoy, which began in Grenfell, NSW, traveled across to Hay and Mildura, delivering much-needed relief. Mick Dunn, RRT's National Operations Manager, expressed gratitude for the South Australian government's support in covering freight costs. The video ends on a positive note, with Dunn highlighting the drivers' eagerness to continue aiding the farmers. This act of generosity demonstrates the resilience of the community and the power of collective action in times of crisis.
