Approximately 360 large round bales of drought relief hay arrived at Port Welshpool early am Sunday following a voyage from Bridport in Tasmania on the Mathew Flinders III. The bulk fodder was unloaded by 3 telehandlers and stored at the GP depot prior to being loaded on to semi and B double trailers for transport to Goulbourn Show Grounds where it will be distributed to drought affected farmers.
The Hay was supplied by farmers from all over Tassie – Furneaux Freight shipped the hay across Bass Strait as their contribution and GP assisted with relief from shipping and channel fees and the secure discharge and storage of the hay at the depot.
