A group of Muslim men have been praised for hosting a free barbecue for bushfire victims on the NSW mid north coast.

The unnamed men travelled six hours from their homes in Lakemba, western Sydney, to the Willawarrin Hotel, inland of Port Macquarie, to help boost locals' spirits.

The four men cooked meat and sausages and, with the help of a local bakery which donated fresh bread, handed out a free lunch to locals doing it tough after the fires.

The small rural town lost one of their own in the blaze last week after 58-year-old Barry Parsons' body was found in burnt-out bushland.

He became the fourth victim of the fires so far this season.

Locals said the act of kindness wouldn't go unnoticed in their community.

'Appreciation post from us all at Willa. Thank you for driving from Sydney to cater lunch for everyone,' one woman wrote alongside a photograph of the men.

'These guys brought all the food with them as well. Muchly appreciated.'

The Facebook post attracted hundreds of comments from other Australians praising the men for their community spirit.

'This is the actual face of Australia and what Australia should look like,' one man wrote on the post, as others commended those involved and said they made them 'proud to be an Aussie'.

Another woman who attended the free event told the men to pay no mind to a few 'rude comments with no appreciation for the kindness in everyone's hearts.'

'Please take note of the majority. Our community appreciate the time you have taken to cook for and spend time with us. No matter what source of sustenance. Community is all we have in these times,' she said.

One man who claims to know the group said they are often looking for ways to contribute to good causes.

'They see it as nothing. [It is] just a part of their life and faith to help when they can and are able to,' the man wrote on the original post.

The men were joined by Orange Sky Laundry - a not-for-profit organisation that washes homeless people's clothes for them.

Volunteers from the organisation set up a post at the Willawarrin Hotel to wash the clothes of bushfire affected residents in the region.
