THANK YOU JUST ISN’T ENOUGH TO SHOW OUR APPRECIATION TO THESE WONDERFUL SOULS! #BurrumbuttokHayRunners
The Burrumbuttok Hay Runners are travelling the miles again to help our aussie farmers. The town was filled with smiles as the roar of the 258 trucks entered Blackall on their way to Ilfracombe. From square bales to round bales these truckers have brought whatever they have got to help provide some source of feed to help our farmers and animals in drought.
Brendan ‘Bumper’ Farrell has become an iconic Australian figure. In just a few years he has managed to turn the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners into a National brand. Mr Farrell, a farmer and ‘truckie from NSW was desperate to help communities that has suffered years from drought. (Lisa Alex- ‘The Barcoo Independent’)
