Carrathool is a tiny community just east of Hay. The town itself has about 30 families, a primary school and a pub. There is also a strong surrounding farming community. One of the great geographical aspects of Carrathool is that it sits very close to the Murrumbigee River and I'm told the fishing is great.
Last Thursday over 40 adults and kids gathered in the pub dinning room (where the big open fire was doing a great job of warming everyone) to hear John Harper talk about recovering after drought. The evening was sponsored by WorkCover NSW and Industry & Investment NSW and was designed to help people think about their mental health.
After the extremely entertaining talk I lead a discussion on "where to from here for Carrathool" and there was great support for getting together to do some future planning.
And of course sitting in front of the fire chatting with others after the meeting was a great way to wind down before retiring to a very comfortable room in the pub.
