The Royal Flying Doctor Service Dubbo Visitor Experience is delighted to be featured in the new web series, Love an Aussie Road Trip. Presented by Adam Spencer, well known media personality, this online video series highlights ten must-do activities around NSW. In the week leading up to Australia Day 2021, new episodes of Love an Aussie Road Trip were released daily by the NSW Government and the Australia Day Council of NSW. As well as providing inspiration for travellers who are looking for exciting places to explore, this insightful series was created to celebrate the Australian spirit and support regional communities. The Dubbo Visitor Experience is proud to be presented as one of NSW’s top attractions to visit on your next road trip adventure.

Love an Aussie Road Trip follows Adam Spencer’s first ever road trip around NSW with his family. Adam is well-known from his days on triple j, ABC radio and television. He's established himself as Australia's funniest and most famous mathematician. Throughout the series, we watch how Adam is blown away by his outback experience and the people he meets along the way. He shares, “An Aussie road trip is the best way to remind a city slicker like me, how resilient and inspiring people are outside of the big smoke.” A stop off at the RFDS Dubbo Visitor Experience will certainly do just that!

In episode five of the series, Adam highlights why you should go to the RFDS Dubbo Visitor Experience on your next road trip, not just to find out about the charity and how we operate, but also to show support for RFDS’ vital work. As Adam explains, when accidents happen in the outback, it’s the Royal Flying Doctor Service who fly to the furthest corners of the country to help everyday Aussies in their darkest hour. Titled, Heroes of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the episode celebrates the incredible RFDS team, who respond to 1,000 calls a day from all over Australia, providing essential healthcare and saving lives.

As Adam says, the Dubbo Visitor Experience is, “an important stop in Dubbo” and, “the perfect place to give us all some perspective on a road trip.” As shown in the episode, there is so much to do when you visit the Dubbo Visitor Experience. It’s an immersive, interactive exploration of the world of the Royal Flying Doctor Service:

A road trip is a staple holiday for any Australian. In a time when COVID-19 has changed interstate travel, the Love an Aussie Road Trip series is a great opportunity to show off the unique tourist destinations that NSW has to offer and get behind outback communities. Andrew Parker, Australia Day Council of NSW Chair says, “Australians love a road trip and this summer we’re bringing the iconic road trip to all the community. After a challenging past year, we can more than ever celebrate Australian regional communities, which have so much to offer.”
