We as a group of young australians have come up with a charity idea to assist rural communities affected by the years of drought.

We plan to hold "Australia's Biggest Convoy" involving utes and trucks of all descriptions.
The aim is for small groups of interested people to collect money, food and clothing donations and then we create a convoy to a sommunity in rural australia to distribute the donations through various charities, hold a ute/truck show to raise money and also hold a charity concert involving many upcoming country artists.

We also plan to have an attempt as the Guiness world record for the longest convoy.

Already we have huge support from some new country music talent aswell as a very enthuisiastic group that is forming our comittee. With the popularity of utes in recent times aswell as country music this is sure to entice many voluntees to be involved and have a great time.

Official media releases will be provided as things progress but if your network is interested in running with our story at any stage please feel free to be in touch.
Just thought i would add this little bit of info..

Ok guys just wondering if anyone has any fundraising ideas - all ideas are welcome but please be reasonable guys.... if you're going to suggest something make sure it is realistic and make sure its something that relates to the general direction we're heading in (e.g a wet t-shirt comp probably isn't quite the publicity that we want although i'm sure all you blokes would jump at the idea)

Also this is a huge job and I can't do it alone.... if anyone in QLD can help in any way, even if it's just handing out a few flyers at a ute show or BNS it would be a great help and i'd appreciate it so much. So if you can help please let me know. And i'm sure Ness would appreciate this help in NSW as well.

Cheers,
Amanda
