ave you managed to catch the new Channel 7 drama series RFDS? Those of us of a “certain age” will recall the original series some 30 years back.
As a proud RFDS employee I have watched the first 3 episodes of the show and was not disappointed, and it is truly great to see an Australian made production which is not another boring reality TV show! The scenery around Broken Hill is also spectacular, and makes me want to visit the outback again as soon as I can. One of the cast, Justine Clarke - who plays the Base Manager (my role!) actually spent some time at the RFDS Mt Isa Base to get a better grasp of the day-to-day activities of a working Base. Here’s hoping the show will help bolster support and recognition for the wonderful work of the front-line staff of the RFDS! Remember to throw some cash into the tin on the next Club ride. So if you haven’t tuned in yet, there is the wonder of Seven Plus to replay the episodes. Cindy Bennett, #4170
