Proud to support such a great community project 🛠️😊

Thanks to Terra Firma Mining Ltd and Reefton Engineering for being maintenance superheroes and offering to keep our equipment in tip top shape for free!

This week The Real Strim Shady (a.k.a scrub bar #4 donated by Friends of Waiuta) had a spa day (a.k.a service) in time for our next working bee on Saturday.

We really appreciate the support from our local businesses - thank you! 🫶

Reefton Engineering is proud to support our local community down at Reefton Area School.

It’s awesome to see the students putting their new barista skills into practice and creating such a great Friday morning coffee spot. Huge thanks to everyone at the school for the work they do, and we’re glad we could help contribute towards supplies.

If you’re around 8:30 - 9:30 am on a Friday morning, pop in and grab a coffee made by the students — they’re pretty good!

Reefton Engineering and Terra Firma Mining Ltd are proud to support the Reefton Trail Collective and the awesome work they do for our community.

We look forward to servicing the Strim Reaper, Lemony Snippet and the Gorse Whisperer (their three new brushcutters) and keeping them running strong for the team!

Big smiles from (most of!) the Reefton Trail Collective today! 6 out of 7 of our committee members got together for this snap with the newest members of our trail crew: *The Strim Reaper*, *Lemony Snippet* and *The Gorse Whisperer* (our three new brushcutters 🤣)

Thanks to the generosity of our amazing local businesses, we’re stoked to have this key equipment for our tracks and trails. You might remember we already gave a shoutout to Rua Gold - Reefton Operations earlier on for our first brushcutter (still legends 🙌), and now it’s time to spread the love a bit further.

A HUGE thank you to MS Moore and Francis Mining for sponsoring two more of these hardworking machines — we literally couldn’t do this without you.

We’d also like to give a big shoutout to Rosco Contracting and Endura Mining Snowy River Gold Mine who have also contributed funding towards equipment, and lastly big thanks to Terra Firma for their offer to service our new kit 🫶 Thank you for backing what we do. All support helps us keep our tracks accessible and looking great for everyone to enjoy.

Now… time to let The Slash Squad loose 👀 Where should we go for our next working bee? Drop your suggestions below👇
