Lee's visit lifts spirits as bush battles drought
10-08-08
LEE Kernaghan's visit to Millmerran recently was worth a million dollars, according to Aussie Helpers volunteer David Golding.
"It took (the farmers) away from work for a day. One day is like a week's holiday for some people," he said.
About 1200 people were at Millmerran Showground as part of Kernaghan's Spirit of the Bush-Paddock Tour where, in conjunction with Aussie Helpers, he is visiting communities that have been severely drought-affected.
Fellow volunteer Janet Golding said Kernaghan did what he did best and spoke with the farmers.
" Lee spoke about how important farmers and agriculture was and how farmers always pour in their blood, sweat and tears into their work," she said.
Mrs Golding said a lot of the problems farmers were facing were because of the drought and when trying to get assistance to get back on their feet, the paperwork could be overwhelming.
The event was attended by Federal Minister Tony Burke and Toowoomba Regional Council mayor Peter Taylor.
