Not the Jet Trek
Talk about epic fundraisers!
Matt and his jet-skiing band of mates completed the second to last leg of their lap around Australia last week.
Collecting almost $10,000 for the RFDS (and carefully avoiding crocodiles) along the way, they completed the multi-day 3,000km trek from Weipa in Far North Queensland across the Gulf of Carpentaria to Darwin.
'Team Cobber'
Outback Car Trek
The fellas from 'Team Cobber' have outdone themselves again with another whopping fundraising effort during this year's iconic Outback Car Trek.
David Meyer and the team were the highest fundraisers from the event, raising $173,000 for RFDS SA/NT.
A huge thanks to Team Cobber for their ongoing generosity and support – that's now more than $830,000 raised over the years.

A book for Ziggy
It's been a year since SA farmer Brook Seal released his children's book Just like you, only a little more different and so far it’s raised more than $3,000 for the Flying Doctor!
Written for his son, the heartwarming story raises awareness about inclusion, kindness and living with disability, with all proceeds going towards the RFDS.
