Alex Van Den Bos was the winner of a 2019 Mitsubishi Triton and tickets to a Hunter Valley rock concert with Barnesy and The Living End.
The Cargo farmer won the truck and the chance to meet the rock legend through a radio competition with Triple M.
The former truck driver said the vehicle came as a huge relief to the family who hadn’t had an easy time of it recently.
Mr Van Den Bos had traded his old career for horse breeding after he was involved in a road accident.
“A huge weight has been lifted from our shoulders, I have a very unreliable ute which is constantly breaking down and expensive to fix,” Mr Van Den Bos said.
“Business has been hard due to drought for not just our family, but thousands of people around Australia. Many worse than us. We are so grateful.”
Mr Van Den Bos said he couldn’t put into words how much the prize meant to him and his family.
“We are just over the moon,” he said.
