Bob Katter Attends Flood Recovery Event

Andy Barra, owner of Andy’s Roadhouse said he decided to run a special Flood Recovery Concert to say thank you to everyone in the region for their hard work and to lift spirits following the challenging event.

He thanked businesses for their donations to keep Andys Roadhouse afloat during the flooding and also Tropic Distributors for sponsoring the Flood Recovery Concert.

“Today, the major sponsor is tropic distributors. They donated all the bread, all the sausages, all the onions, they donated the lot! Plus, they also donated $5,000 of fuel,” said Andy.

“This is to say thank you to the people of Ingham and district, Townsville, and we thought we'd put something back into it, and that's why we've got the bands playing free, everything is free. There's no charges for the band or anything.”

Marketing and Sales Manager of Tropic Petroleum Andrew Peters said the event was all about giving people a good time.

“It's about getting the people out of their homes. People look out their front yard and they’ve got all their furniture and everything there, so we try and give them a different outlook, where they don't have to spend money to go somewhere,” he said.

“It's just to try and create a little bit of positivity, we can't rebuild anybody's house, but at least we can give them a good experience for a couple of hours.”

Member for Kennedy Bob Katter MP said he was thrilled to show his support at the Flood Recovery Concert and said it was wonderful to see people in good spirits.
