00:02This 84 year old op shop owner is proving age doesn't count.
00:14Barbara Carroll, known in her hometown of Donnybrook as Nan Barb, is heading north.
00:20She regularly fills her van with donated clothes destined for WA's remote Aboriginal communities.
00:26I don't go out to get any rewards or anything. It just comes natural.
00:34Somebody needs help, you help them. Bob, in.
00:38But she never leaves town without her sidekick, Bob.
00:43Barbara drives thousands of kilometres to the remote Gascoyne and Pilbara regions,
00:48visiting towns like Carnarvon, Roeburn and Newman.
00:54Handing out the much needed clothing to not-for-profit groups and women's refuges.
00:59Barbara started the charitable project in 2018 with the help of her granddaughter Tara Carroll,
01:05a proud Wiradjuri woman.
01:06Living remotely, that's a disadvantage already because, you know,
01:11they don't have access to a lot of, you know, medical or clothing or whatever it be.
01:19Morning.
01:20It's a cause close to Barbara's heart after growing up in the East Pilbara community of Nalagain.
01:26So she, very close connection with people up there, with mob.
01:30And we're off.
01:32A heart in the red dirt and the right place.
01:35A heart in the red dirt and the right place.
01:35I'll see you next time.
01:39It's done with a check book,
01:39Mas
01:39A heart in the red dirt.
01:39A heart, a heart in the red dirt.
01:40You
