Newbridge floods : 2022 : THIS is community
2022 saw floods across Australia. The regional Victorian community of Newbridge was not spared.The troupe has visited the community several times and connected with community members who wanted to tell their story. A fundraising drive was held to raise funds to hold a night with the Australian Horizons Foundation BEEFitUP Australia CLASSIC AUSSIE ROCK SHOW to allow community members to come together for a night of mateship followed by a night with Ambassador Darren Colston. We ask that you take a moment to reflect on what you have heard and the heartache and mixed emotions you have seen in the videos. Our thoughts are with everyone who have been affected by the floods across our country. Please share this page. Thank you for watching.#mateshelpingmates #onetownatatime #mentalhealthmatters

Thank you for watching the videos. As you would have heard, there is a lot of anger as to WHY the community was whiped out by the floods. The Australian Horizons Foundation will be advocating for these communities asking questions like WHY did it happen to members of parliament and authorities.
