To thank them, publican Lisa Stewart is putting on a barbecue for the ADF on Friday, March 18.

“We received their help loading more flood damaged items after they helped other homes in the village. This would had been a massive task without the initial first help from the local community and few weeks later, the ADF who have shown much compassion, are so respectful and a true representation of Australian spirit,” Lisa said.
