"Kings Meadows Lions Club has donated $2500 towards the Bale Drive. This is an incredibly generous gesture and means we can continue to source more bales," he said.

The Bale Drive organiser, Chris Kilby of Westbury Lions Club, paid tribute to local farmers and contractors, who have donated hay and time to the project.
"This load of thirty four round bales is our third shipment to eastern Tasmania farmers and, thanks to the generosity of farmers and haulage contractor Marcus Hingston, I'm confident we'll be able to organise more loads", he said.
This load of hay has come from farmers in the Meander Valley.
