A Country Town Rescue

Trundle will receive Australia wide attention when the six part factual series Country Town Rescue screens from Tuesday, March 27 at 8pm on ABC 1.

Country Town Rescue, produced by Za-pruder's Other Films, is an observational documentary series filmed over a year in Trundle.

It's the compelling story of how ordinary Australians come together to save a small rural town whose falling population threatens its very existence,

To save the town from dying a small group of dedicated locals get together and try to boost the town's population by enticing newcomers to the area by offering up abandoned farmhouses for just $1 a week,

Over 400 families applied for only five available farmhouses.
