The Bourke Police & Community Outback Trek Committee has presented the Royal Flying Doctor Service with $10,000.

The funds were raised by the Trekkers during the 2018 Outback Trek from Bourke to the Barossa and back.

On Saturday Trek Vice President Neil “Dribbles” Driscoll caught up with Kendall Graham and Pete Smith from the RFDS Dubbo Branch and presented them with the $10,000 cheque.

Neil and Callum were also lucky enough to sneak in a VIP tour of the hangar and the RFDS aircraft.
