A UNIQUE cattle drive – and auction – will raise awareness and funds to help conquer mental health issues in the bush.
‘Droving the blues away’ is an initiative of Riverina Bluebell and incorporates a 260 kilometre cattle drive throughout southern NSW.
Representatives from Riverina Bluebell, including chairman Mac Armytage, were at the Wagga cattle market on Monday to encourage vendors to donate to the cause before August 28.
“Our aim is simple, get people more aware of mental health and get them talking about it,” he said.
