The Basalt Ball was held with the support of the Connellan Airways Trust to bring together people from surrounding stations and communities after several hard years due to the drought. The health and wellbeing of many of the community, most from surrounding properties, was suffering. The Ball offered an evening focuses on community, friendship and provided a well needed mental health reprieve from the ongoing stresses of the drought.
