Brothers Paul and Phil Gedye — lifelong motorcycle enthusiasts — set off on a bucket list Simpson Desert crossing. 800km of dirt track to Mount Dare, one of the most remote corners of Australia.
Just out of Mount Dare, Phil hit a patch of bulldust. The bike came over and piledrove his legs into the ground. "I saw stars. I couldn't move because the bike was on my legs." — Phil Gedye
RFDS flew from Alice Springs to retrieve Phil. Days later, Paul developed symptoms at William Creek — and was treated by a doctor via the RFDS Virtual Emergency Centre. The Flying Doctor showed up twice.
