The Trundle Bush Tucker Day is a very unique event that is run by a dedicated group of volunteers who aim to support local charities and needy groups, inject money into the local economy, and who also want to share their country town with visitors from far and wide.
The distribution of funds raised at Trundle Bush Tucker Day reflects the real issues and hardships that face this small community. This cash amount does not include the benefit to the town of increased visitation and the flow-on effect to the community of family contact and social interaction.
The increased visitation to our also assists our local businesses, who continue to struggle in the harsh economic climate that the drought has created.
Outgoing President of the Trundle Bush Tucker Day Rose Leighton said: "The Trundle Bush Tucker Day will continue to be a success and will continue to be a viable event for this small country town as it is an appropriate event for the town and as the whole event is designed for the community to come together and enjoy the day, while ensuring that the profit made goes back to those groups and organisations who support Trundle and district.
“The Trundle Bush Tucker Day celebrates what living in the bush is all about, working together towards a common goal. Community members are proud of their town and are pleased to showcase their town and all it has to offer to its visitors," Mrs Leighton said.
