Trish Martin, Tabulam Rural Agents
On behalf of the fire affected people and animals of Tabulam, I would like to thank the many members of the Mullumbimby region who have selflessly come to our aid with kind donations of fodder and transport for our stricken livestock.
My first point of contact was a phone call from Tony of the Mullumbimby Co-op who generously offered round bales. I am sure there were many others involved behind the scenes throughout your community.
These bales have been crucial to the survival of many animals that were already feeling the pinch from the drought ravaged season only to lose what dry feed we had left to the fire storm. You have helped feed everything from goats to horses and cattle.
Sometimes it takes a disaster to appreciate the very best of simple human kindness. Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts. The Tabulam community.
