Scones, tea, and craft are synonymous with the CWA, but the organisation also provides vital community support. In drought- and flood-ravaged Julia Creek, it's all about the covert approach.
The fund also assists farmers and their families with household support in the form of store credits and grocery vouchers.QCWA State President Christin King said the fund, which has been running since 1990, is made up of almost exclusively donated money.
"I've got pages and pages of community groups right down to fishing clubs and gardening clubs who have donated thousands of dollars," Ms King said. "We don't take any administration funds out of the money donated, we have to source that administration cost separately."
