Drought relief convoy of trucks carrying hay leaves WA bound for stricken NSW farmers....


A huge convoy of about 20 road trains laden with 2,000 bales of hay is en route from outback Western Australia to drought-stricken farmers in New South Wales.

Several hay-laden road trains parked on bitumen with a group of men in front of them.

About 16 trucks left Northam in WA's Wheatbelt early on Monday, with the remaining trucks to join them along the route.

The convoy will travel across the Nullarbor, a journey of more than 3,500 kilometres, arriving in Condobolin in NSW's Central West on Friday.

There's not much we can do from Western Australia usually, but this is something we can do so we put our hand up.

The massive cross-country aid effort, organised by the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) charity, includes 1,000 tonnes of hay worth $500,000 which is enough to feed 1,000 cows or 20,000 sheep for a fortnight.

If you are traveling on the Nullarbor, give these truckers plenty of room, give them a wave to show you care.

A convoy of trucks with hay from Tassie arrived thismorning on the good ship Spirit and the Toll ship as well KJ. I think 2 on the Spririt plus extra trailers and 3 on the Toll.
