Grey nomads needed to help
Permalink  

Hi all, currently (and hopefully, briefly) in Brisbane, and read an article in today's Courier Mail, asking Grey Nomads to visit farmers in drought in western Qld to just drop in and say Hi! 

We are being recruited to help drought stricken farmers overcome mental health issues borne by their struggle with the big dry that is crushing their livelihoods.  Sharing a cuppa and a sympathetic ear was what the farmers need the most.  Farmers in drought stricken rural communities were more vulnerable than every to suicide.  This has been copies in part from the paper article - sorry I dont' have access to a scanner at the moment.

Aussie Helpers is the name of the organisation - no contact details have been given......

This is the address of their website.

http://www.aussiehelpers.org.au/ 

Seems to me to be a cause worthy of support.

Hi Dunmowin.
We are at the moment in Cunnamulla, and can see that most farmers NEED a hand,we are staying here for another 2 weeks to lend a hand,if anyone is coming out this way we are at the riverside tourist park.

To all Grey nomads..
Reg and i had a day at the Charlotte Plains Station yesterday and lent a handwe are going back on monday for a week,the farmers out here in the west do NEED a hand, it is not hard work it is helping feed the poor animals that have no food on the ground and feeding the little ones that have been taken away from there poorly mums, it is also a relief for the owners to have someone to chat to.
SOOOOOO a BIG shoutout to you grey nomads (,even if your not grey) come to the riverside caravan park at Cunnamulla and chat to Judy, she will then point you in the right direction :) :)
cheers Lynn and Reg
