It's been confirmed 104 tradesmen from the Brazilian community will arrive tonight (November 22) to assist residents in Old Bar and surrounds.

This will include the removal and repair of fences as well as work on houses or structures.

Repairing fences has been identified as a high priority in the wake of the bushfire crisis due to the need to keep livestock secure.

The project is the brainchild of Old Bar resident Christina Gibbs, who originally anticipated a few dozen workers. The tradesmen will be camping at the property of Mick Campbell.

"On Saturday morning, we'll organise to have most of them go to Wingham Showground where they'll be split into 20 to 30 groups before they head out," Mick explained.

The group is keen to to start work and will use their own trucks and tools.

"BlazeAid will have tools for them if they need a top up," Mick added.

Catering needs for the group have already been arranged.

If their time and manpower isn't enough, the group will also bring relief supplies.

If you are a resident in need of assistance through the project, call Mick on 0488787620 or BlazeAid's Chris and John Male on 0418745994 or 0488414368.

The group will head back to Sydney on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning.

Meanwhile, the combined Taree Lions Club/ Rotary Club of Taree on Manning's bushfire appeal continues to grow.

The service clubs had raised about $145,000 with the Rotary Club's projects manager Maurie Stack revealing another substantial donation is on the way.

A Muslim community in Sydney has raised between $10,000 and $15,000 for bushfire victims in the Mid Coast area. They plan to hand out the funds personally as a sign of solidarity for their fellow Australians.

Taree Lions Club has also put the callout to sporting, church and community groups to assist in the sorting of donated goods.
