I had the privilege of joining our resilient community in the Mid North at the Willowie Community BBQ organised to bring people together during these challenging times. With drought conditions impacting our region, it's heartening to see neighbours, friends, and families coming together to share stories, support one another, and remind each other that none of us are alone in facing these hardships.

Events like these are vital, as they help us reconnect, uplift one another, and strengthen bonds that make our community so remarkable.

Thank you to everyone who came, shared a story, and lent a listening ear.
