The Wallangarra Driver Reviver Rest Area located just before you reach the township is a colourful sight.
This fantastic park area was busier than some coffee shops in South-east Queensland and run entirely by volunteers.
When I visited there last week, I was greeted by happy smiling faces ready to yarn to a complete stranger.
It was a really nice experience, so I would like to celebrate the Wallangarra volunteers.
Volunteers are a precious commodity who take time out of their busy schedules to help others.
Their time, their willingness and their selflessness in supporting the community is awe-inspiring.
While I am aware that you, all 50 of you, volunteer without expectation of recognition or praise, today I would like to do exactly that for you.
Last Wednesday, you made my day and I appreciated that.
Thank you for your generosity and conversation, it didn’t go unnoticed.
