Revellers rally round

A BERWICK rally for farmers in droughtstricken parts of Victoria had revellers singing in the rain on Saturday.
The ‘Need for Feed’ Cars, Guitars and Stars — Wheels and Music Festival was held at Akoonah Park to provide relief to Gippsland landholders whose properties have been devastated by drought, floods and bushfire in recent months. Organisers said the rain was most welcome but probably kept people from attending the event.
Several hundred people turned out over the two days, which was below expectations, but organisers said the strong community spirit still prevailed.
Proceeds from the event are expected to top $15,000.
