Australians across the country donned a Flanno for a Farmer on Friday, August 23, to raise money for Farm Angels, a charity supporting farmers doing it tough.

At the Port of Echuca, staff members wore their flannel shirts throughout the week and a barbecue was hosted at the wharf by the Echuca Moama Kiwanis Club on Saturday, August 24.

Venues including Echuca Hotel, Henry’s Bridge Hotel and the Caledonian Hotel hosted events to fundraise, with travla donating $2 from each schooner of its lagers towards Farm Angels.

The Cal also hosted a raffle, with custom flannos, travla eskies, cases and even a sack of potatoes up for grabs.
