About RFDS tourism
While Australia's main population centres are close to the coast, with about 8 in every 10 Australians living there, there's still about four million people living in inland Australia (i.e. more than 60 km from the coast). While there are some major settlements in the outback, includingDubbo,Mount Isa,Broken Hill,Kalgoorlie–Boulder,Port AugustaandAlice Springs, these cities make up a minority of the inland population. There are still farmers out there who are living 6–8 hours from the nearest town or settlement, particularly in WA and NT. Rev. John Flynn started what became the RFDS in 1928. But the story began earlier, in 1917, with the death of stockman Jimmy Darcy, who lived in a remote outback area of the Kimberly region in WA. Darcy suffered major injuries when his horse fell in a cat
