Four Muslim men have driven from Sydney to northern New South Wales for a second time to put on a barbecue for bushfire victims.
The builders by trade travelled about six hours from their homes in Auburn in Western Sydney to be at the first get-together for the community of Willawarrin, which has been devastated by the recent fires.
After the fires hit, the men surprised Kempsey locals by just turning up at the evacuation centre with the barbecue, but this time they were happy to come back to cook for Willawarrin’s fair.
Leaving just before six o’clock in the morning, Jawad Nabouche and his mates drove north on the Pacific Highway with a ute loaded with about 30 kilos of sausages and 30 boxes of water and all the utensils and equipment they needed to cook a barbecue.
“It’s the least we can do, to try help the community and help everybody up here and put a smile on everybody’s faces,” Mr Nabouche said.
