About 100 people helped raise about $1000 for the East Timor Buffalo Project at a concert in Warrnambool on Saturday night. Carolyn Claridge from the Warrnambool branch of the Australian East Timor Association, said Songs For a New Beginning had a "fantastic feel" with most of the audience saying the same. The concert was aiming to add to $6500 the association had already raised to buy a herd of buffalo that will help East Timor re-establish its agriculture and crops. The Buffalo Project was set up by the East Timor Relief Association to boost declining numbers of buffalo which the country's people use to plough wet rice fields. The concert included performers Greg Arnold's Tricycle, Lynn Eales and Wendy Goyen together with Andy Alberts and Marcia Howard. Ms Claridge said the money would be used to buy about a dozen buffalo which would be purchased in the Northern Territory and shipped over to East Timor
