A TREK ON YOUR LIST!

THESE TREKS are awesome fun. Plenty of the trek participants are husbandand-wife teams or two, three or more friends or work-mates who have chipped-in to build (or buy) a trek car, raise and donate the charity’s entry fee and take annual leave together to participate. The Outback Car Trek requires a donation directly to the RFDS of $7500 per car plus the event catering fee of around $1000 per person. That provides all meals, event admin and support such as the medical team. The event’s technical team/ mechanics (called sweeps) donate their time.

OutbackCarTrek supporting The Royal Flying Doctor. In 2019, the RFDS trek celebrated its 30th event and travelled from Renmark SA to Darwin NT. More info: outbackcartrek.com.au
