Locals Dance and Cheer as Drought-Aid Convoy Rolls Through Uralla, Headed for Desperate Farmers

Scores of trucks loaded with hay passed through Uralla as part of a charity run to deliver fodder to drought-affected farmers in the New South Wales Northern Tablelands. Locals cheered the convoy on as it passed through the town on the New England Highway, with the drivers blasting their horns in appreciation. The Burrumbuttock Hay Runners drove more than 900km from Burrumbuttock in the New South Wales Riverina region to Armidale, brining truckloads of hay as part of an Australia Day hay run. “Thank you @burrumbuttockhayrunners for the extraordinary effort of approx 170 trucks bringing an incredible anonymous million dollar donation of hay to the New England. Many a tear shed seeing this convoy heading north today,” Uralla local business Highland Living posted to Instagram. The entire Northern Tablelands region is considered to be completely affected by intense drought according to the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries.
