Allan Darwen was working hard under the harsh Queensland sun last month, completing mowing and yard maintenance jobs just like every other workday, when one kind stranger decided to make this hot afternoon a little brighter.
“So this afternoon, a bloke pulls up while we (Allan and Simon) are doing a yard, and I thought, old mate will want a last minute mow… but nope,” shared Allan online.
“He said, mate, I’ve seen you on Facebook, and I see you two blokes around going hard, so I thought I’d shout you both a beer for Christmas!”
After another huge day at work, Allan and Simon were more than appreciative of the gentleman’s offer, and the three of them made their way to the local pub to enjoy a nice cold beer and a good old Aussie yarn together.
“So old mate, sorry I didn’t catch your name cause I was totally chuffed, thank you so much,” added Allan.
“We had a massive day, so they (the drinks) went down very well, thank you!”
Allan shared his heartwarming story online which was met with an overwhelmingly positive response, of over 7,000 interactions and hundreds of locals noting “not all heroes wear capes” and that this story of mateship perfectly captures the true meaning of what it is to be Australian.
