Rural Aid Australia to help local farmers from rural areas to deal with the unfortunate drought.
With the donations collected, Rural Aid will be organising a Mega Farm Rescue with over 185 volunteers ready to paint, fence, build, and other mechanical or farm work that's needed to be done to help ease the worried minds of the farmers.
