Please help Drowned Fathers Family

Last night my Brother 46-year-old Robert Bax was with his family and dogs at the Loyd Jones Weir in Barcaldine yesterday evening when he slipped and fell into floodwater.

Emergency services were called and a search operation was launched.

Police said Mr Bax's body was recovered several hours later around 200 metres downstream.

Central-West Queensland has experienced heavy rainfall and flooding in recent days.

My brother leaves behind his beautiful wife Lauren Bax and 3 gorgeous children Bonnie , Skye and Michael

Having recently just moved to Barcaldine to start a new job and a new life for their family this has now left them shattered as all their savings went to this move , we are trying to raise as much as we can to help pay for funeral costs and help support Loz and the kids at this terrible terrible time

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your help and support at this heartbreaking time
