rss feedCrews airlift tofu to Australian co-op
Helicopter crews in Australia have dropped about a ton of food – including soybean cake - to about 200 stranded vegetarians at a cooperative in Tuntable Falls, The Northern Star reported.
The efforts follow last week’s collapse of a bridge, which was caused by floodwaters, The Northern Rivers Echo reported. Officials expect to have a temporary bridge finished by the end of this week.
In addition to tofu, helicopter crews delivered rice, bread, milk, baked beans and eggs, according to the newspapers.
A Tuntable official told The Northern Star that there were no major problems at the cooperative because of the collapse.
The Tuntable Falls community sits on Australia’s East Coast, northeast of Sydney.
