How were 350 kg of fresh groceries and essential supplies delivered to Kiwirrkurra Community when the roads were all flooded?
The Chartair Mail Plane is on the move again!!
In the first week of February, Kiwirrkurra Council Aboriginal Corporation and Outback Stores organised 350 KG of much needed fresh groceries and essential supplies for their local community.
Central Australia has had the wettest start of the year on record, making many of the roads connecting Alice Springs with Central Australian remote communities impassable. Alice Springs has already received three times the average monthly rainfall, and it's only the 5th of February!
These roads act as a lifeline for remote communities to receive fresh groceries and other essential supplies. After weeks of heavy rain, supply chain issues in the remote Central Australian community of Kiwirrkurra were escalating to problematic levels.
Have no fear; the Chartair MailPlane is here!
Rainfall in central Australia is often seen as a blessing bringing fresh water to some of Australia's driest areas. However, this year, the enormous amount of rainfall has created issues for the local communities.
If your community is affected by the recent flooding, please don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly team at Chartair!
