The annual Kandos Street Machine and Hot Rod Show is a community event and the Rylstone and District Pony Club have stretched their community a bit further.
Plenty of groups from the local area take part in the annual event, such as the Rylstone-Kandos Volunteer Rescue Squad who do the gate.
But for the Rylstone and District Pony Club the show was a chance to help out on of their fellow clubs doing it tough in a drier part of Australia.
Volunteers from the club spent their time at the show collecting the aluminium cans for recycling, with all of the profits to go to the Walgett Pony Club.
They said they do it because they have friends “out west” whose four-year-old children haven’t seen proper rainfall.
The money raised from the cans collected helps the Walgett Pony Club buy feed and give them a bit less to worry about.
The Rylstone and District Pony Club have been doing this for the last three Kandos Street Machine Shows.
The energy saved recycling one aluminium can would power a TV for three hours.
