The Alexandra Hay Depot has now closed. Any future donations of hay will be sent directly to farm.
Weβd really like to recognise the team at the Alexandra Hay Depot. Over the past month, theyβve helped coordinate the distribution of around 10,000 bales of hay to fire-affected farmers right across Murrindindi, which is no small feat. While Andrew Embling and Matt Ellis are the names on the gate, thereβs been a huge behind-the-scenes team keeping the wheels turning.
Weβll inevitably miss some people, but special thanks to Trevor and Jake Armstrong; Andrew and Lachie Armstrong; Chloe, Ben and Sam from the Sabre Pastoral crew; Bruce and Alison Steuart; Nikki Embling; the Lions Club of Alexandra; Larry Fallon; Emily Salmon and Jay Rossely; Thornton General Store; Chrissie and Bailey Heath; Warren Davies; the Dame Pattie Menzies Centre; Simpsons Fuel; Murrindindi Shire Council; and many others who have helped move, sort, and deliver hay and other donations... or just keep the wheels turning in general.
More importantly, we also need to thank the hundreds of Victorian (and further afield) farmers, truck drivers, businesses and individuals who have generously donated and transported hay to the region. Some special mention needs to go to Need for Feed Australia, Jye Savage, Lions Club of Marysville, Victorian Farmers Federation, the crew from St Arnaud, to name a few... but to everyone who has donated and transported hay we say a massive thank you.
This was community at its best... practical help, quiet leadership, and people showing up for one another when it really matters.
