A NSW farmer will lead a convoy of 120 trucks travelling 1860km north to deliver more than 150 trailers full of hay to drought-stricken farmers in Queensland.

This will be the 10 th hay run for the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners led by Brendan Farrell from Stanbridge in the NSW Riverina.

The convoy will leave Darlington Point on Thursday, travelling north through Griffith, Mount Hope and Cobar before stopping in the tiny border town of Barringun overnight.

It will then pass through Blackhall before arriving in Ilfracombe in central west Queensland.

The mammoth effort has required donations of trucks, drivers, and hay, as well as catering and accommodation and financial donations to cover the cost of fuel.

Each truck requires an estimated $2000 in fuel to make the journey.

Mr Farrell told the Sydney Morning Herald he wanted to “let everyone know this drought is still happening.”

“It is just letting third-, fourth-generation farmers know that there are still people who care, whether it is my organisation or other people – people are still helping.

“It is keeping the dream alive, that is all we are doing.”

A record 86 percent of Queensland is currently stricken by drought.

The hay is expected to assist more than 200 drought-affected properties.
