Driver Reviver is a winner
INNISFAIL’S Driver Reviver site has received a top award for its service.
The Allan McCormac Award is handed out annually to a Driver Reviver site which best seeks solutions to challenges, overcomes adversity or acts above and beyond service requirements.
Site coordinator Michael Sands said he was “blown away” by the award. “It was a wonderful acknowledgement,” he said.
Mr Sands credited the team of volunteers for their efforts.
“I’ve always been a giving person. I can talk to all walks of life, and I don’t judge people. All my volunteers are pretty much like that too, they never let you down. They’re just wonderful people. You can ask them to be here at the drop of a hat and they’re there,” he said.
As well as being beneficial to the local community, Driver Reviver plays a huge role of being along a popular grey nomad caravan route to areas further north.
“We have slowly started to get back a lot of the backpackers too, and they are amazed at Driver Reviver. Nowhere else in the world has anything like it. They’re just blown away.”
