Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
A simple act of kindness has struck a chord in the Bowen community, after a local couple found themselves stranded with a broken-down boat trailer near Collinsville.
Sharing their gratitude online, one resident described how their luck quickly turned after two flat tyres left them stuck about 30 kilometres out of town.
That’s when Matthew from CCL Specialised stepped in.
Arriving not long after the incident in one of the company’s trucks, Matthew went above and beyond; organising to load both the boat and trailer and safely transport them into Collinsville.
The grateful locals said they “couldn’t believe their luck,” thanking both Matthew and his workplace for the unexpected help.
It’s just one example of the quiet, everyday kindness continuing to ripple through regional communities, proving that when things go wrong, there’s often someone willing to step up and lend a hand.
