A COMMUNITY SERVED BY VOLUNTEERS . . . .

There's a service in our community of which we're rightly proud
it was, many years ago, by concerned citizens brought about
free transport to get to a doctor, hospital, for those in need
especially those aged of whom their families payed them little heed

Implementing the idea, what was needed, a voluntary crew
these kind of people, as we are too well aware, are vey few
a vehicle, preferable one large, one small, no large fleet
just to help those in the community, that are most in need

It was implemented as a free service, unique, still the best
it has it ups and downs, over time has stood many a test
provided by like-minded people, caring and kind hearted
it seems only like yesterday, when thought of and started

To use this service is very simple, making just one phone call
when in need of transport to doctor, specialist or hospital
providing name, address, doctor, specialist, when and where
at appropiate time the bus does arrive, to take take you there

At times, when times are busy, the bus may be running late
they do their best, notify doctor, specialist, where appropiate
this service is provide by volunteers, with pride, smiling face
they are ordinairy people, who could live next door, your place

There is great satisfaction in a job well done at end of tiring day
a smiling face form those helped, grateful people, is reward, pay
every day is different, problems are not the same, guarantee
that's why it's satisfying to be a volunteer in your community

This service is unique to the hospital that it operates out of for the last 25 years, not duplicated anywhere in Australia. Despite the harsh economic times it is still free and transports about 5000 people a year within a radius of 20km. We salute those volunteers.
