City man organises charity drive to show appreciation for farmers

Key points

• Perth man Dan Sutherland organised the West Coast Long Drive, an eight-day convoy of 40 series LandCruisers from Perth to Bullara Station. The group raised nearly $40,000 for farmer support charity Farm Angels.
• Organisers aimed to raise awareness of mental health challenges facing farmers, who often face isolation and stigma. Northampton farmer Arran Teakle said the drive showed him that support networks exist.
• Organisers hope to involve more people next year.
