We talk with one of our farmers about the worst drought on record. “When you’re around dust and dying stock all the time, depression can hit you hard,” Rhonda told us. “But knowing someone cares makes such a difference.” We believe the rains will come.

Our farmers have endured so much for so long. But what’s getting them through is knowing that other people are there for them. People who care and people who are willing to give them a hand up. We’re so grateful for our incredible Outback Links volunteers who brought helpful hands and hope to farmers in and around Moree (NSW) during a recent trip.
We’re so grateful for your wonderful support this year, which is forging friendships and lifting spirits in the Outback.
