Outback destination
ONE of Dubbo’s most successful charity fundraisers is back on track.
The year 2020 was one of massive global upheaval, with worldwide trade disrupted and fundraising opportunities for charities significantly adversely impacted.
Destination Outback started in 1990 and has been run as a biennial event since then, but last year’s Coronavirus pandemic prevented it from going ahead. Now registrations are open for Destination Outback 2021.
The event is run by the Rotary Club of Dubbo South and since its inception has contributed more than a million dollars to the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Event director George Richmond said because travel opportunities have been so limited, the 2021 event should stir up people’s interest to once again get on the road.
“We expect the maximum of 50 entries will be taken up very quickly,” Mr Richmond said.
“I look forward to another exciting event and I encourage people to act quickly to avoid disappointment.”
The event will start with a registration at Wahroonga Park on Saturday, August 7.
Participants will then make their own way to Tooraweenah to officially start the event that evening.
As the trek progresses, crews will be taken on an adventure through the outer reaches of NSW before ending up at Ivanhoe a week later.
