Country Town Rescue is the compelling story of how ordinary Australians come together to save the small rural town of Trundle, whose falling population threatens its very existence.But Trundle isn't going down without a fight. Town members have heard about a scheme that just might work for them. The idea is simple. Rent out some of the abandoned farmhouses for just a dollar a week and attract new families to the town. They call it 'Trundle Tree Change'.This week the Guerke's relationship with their landlord has deteriorated further and the committee meets to discuss a solution. When Jo and Andrew Gallen arrive, Jo tracks down Dannielle and gets the job of cook at the Trundle Pub. The Elemam family has been unhappy since they arrived, farmer Ben takes Nabih on a muster to try and engage him in country life. Christie gets a visit from committee members Cherie Quade and Dol Wright who are desperate for the Elemams to stay.At the Trundle Health Centre, Tony and Claire have started work but five weeks on are devastated to discover that due to a bureaucratic stuff up they haven't been paid, and they default on their mortgage. Tony Moore drafts a letter to the shadow health minister about the situation and breaks down as he reads it out to wife, Claire.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Executive Producer: Anita Jacoby; Executive Producer and Director: Debbie Cuell; Narrator: Brendan Cowell; ABC TV Commissioning Editor: Chris Thorburn.
