Just in the past couple of weeks, a string of random acts of kindness have captured the attention of the entire community, with locals taking to social media to share their thanks and gratitude.
Without exchanging names or even interacting with one another, several members of the shire have helped others in need, from lifting wheely walkers into cars to paying it forward in the drive through.
Earlier this month, the community came together after a concerned local shared the news she had found a very badly injured wallaby who had unfortunately suffered extensive burns after being caught in a cane fire. Unable to assistance the wallaby herself, she called upon the shire to help, and in true Burdekin fashion, many came to the wallaby’s aid, taking the trip to Brandon to search for the animal and contact wildlife carers. The efforts of some, impacted and warmed the hearts of many, with the community praising those who helped the animal online via the Burdekin Community Hub Facebook page.
Everyday within the community, many random acts of kindness occur, and although small, they each have the potential to make a huge difference.
