GYMPIE coffee drinkers have shown their hearts are bigger than their wallets at Farmer & Sun Marketplace Cafe where a string of 'suspended coffees' awaits those in need.
Owner Sharla Watson said customers had paid for more than 20 coffees to be used as a free coffee by those in need of a lift. The Southside cafe began the system last month after a customer suggested the idea, which is now popular in many cities.
"I didn't think we would get this sort of response," the pleased owner said.

It's all about making people feel good, she said.
