A convoy of 20 road trains made a 1300 kilometre journey from Esperance to the Murchison and Gascoyne regions over the long weekend.
Co-ordinated by Farmers Across Borders, comprising an entirely voluntary committee and membership base, the hay run was the ultimate ask of community spirit.
While the delivered hay provided some immediate relief for drought-stricken pastoralists, organisers said the hay run was more about showing support for those doing it tough and reassuring them that they're not alone.
