Thanks for your help Barraba

12th July 2023

To the Editor

They say country hospitality can’t be beat, well I can testify that is true.

I found myself on the Barraba to Manilla Road on 6th July with my elderly relatives when a mob of kangaroos appeared suddenly out of the bush.  Unfortunately, my red Suzuki Swift collected one of the roos and I was forced off the road. I attempted to flag down two cars and to my surprise one did a u-turn and the other managed to stop immediately. 

I would like to express my gratitude to the lovely couple who stopped and removed the tyre guard from my car and the other gentleman who also offered assistance.  Without their

kindness and help, we would not have made it to an appointment in Manilla.

I would also like to thank Manilla Motors for hoisting up my car and patching it together, so this city girl could be back on the road and home to Brisbane.

With gratitude and thanks
