TONIGHT at 7:30pm, Rural Aid is hosting a national ‘Good Onya Mate’ fundraising concert featuring a star-studded line up of local and international artists.
Heartfelt stories will be also be shared by farmers that Rural Aid has supported through drought, bushfire, food and COVID-19 this year.
In a show of solidarity, Rural Aid is encouraging all viewers across the nation to dress like a farmer at their own locations as they celebrate together, whilst remaining Covid-safe.
Rural Aid’s unofficial spokesperson for the event, known as The Ringer, advised Australians on appropriate headwear for the event.

“You want to make sure you’re not wearing your country hat awkwardly like a city politician on a farm visit,” The Ringer said, from his paddock in central Queensland.
“Brim size is all important, and don’t go putting a feature in your cap – no one in the bush will take you seriously.”
The charity encourages Australians to post a photo of their outfits with the hashtag #goodonyamate as a message of solidarity to farmers across the country.
The concert can be watched live on Channel Nine and 9Now.
