The fundraiser was being hosted by Ray McInerney at his beautiful Upper Rollands Plains property which houses the historic old Wauchope train station.

Mr McInerney said the "driving force was to raise a few more dollars to help strengthen the infrastructure of the volunteer service".

"The more money raised puts Upper Rollands Plains fire captain Rod Innes one step closer to achieving his goals of setting a Rotating Roster Maintenance Program to keep all our properties safe from future bushfires," he said.

But Mr McInerney has had to cancel the fundraiser until a later date.
