Letter from our Joint Patrons > Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO and Sir Nicholas Shehadie AC OBE It has been ten years since Sir Nicholas and I became Joint Patrons of the Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern Section (RFDS SE). Over the past decade we have watched with pride as the Flying Doctor has continued to expand the ‘mantle of safety’ around Australia envisaged by its founder, the Reverend John Flynn, over 80 years ago. This year, RFDS SE has increased the number of people it helped through patient transfers and through its clinics. Recently, I was honoured to open the newly redeveloped RFDS base in Dubbo, which the flying doctor has has significantly enhanced its facilities to bring more essential health services to the continued to expand the people of Central West New South Wales. On this visit, I very much enjoyed connecting once more with Australians living in some of the most beautiful and remote areas of our country. ‘mantle Earlier this year, the RFDS also had the opportunity to renew its Royal connection, which began with Queen Elizabeth’s visit to the Broken Hill Base in 1954. HRH Prince of safety’ William and his bride, Catherine Middleton, nominated the Flying Doctor as the only around Australia Australian charity to benefit from the Wedding Gift Fund they established in lieu of wedding gifts from the public. This brought the Royal Flying Doctor Service and its Royal connection to the forefront of public attention around the world and provided a timely reminder of the unique and valuable service it provides. Sir Nicholas and I will continue to follow your achievements with great interest and extend our personal thanks to you all.

The film follows the lives of the Ferguson family, retiring managers of Durham Downs Station, as their home passes on to the next family of employees of S. Kidman and Co., the Station’s pastoral lease-holder. As they end a thirty year association with the property and an at least five generations association with the area, the Fergusons are grieving for the loss of their home and trying to make sense of who they will be without Durham Downs. Running in parallel to the Ferguson’s story is that of the Ebsworth family and the Wangkumarra people. Moved from their traditional home in the 1930s, and having worked for the Station over generations, oil and gas exploration of the land is creating new opportunities for them to relate to their land.

  • River Murray Operations Weekly Report 25Th November 2015
    RIVER MURRAY WEEKLY REPORT FOR THE WEEK ENDING WEDNESDAY, 25TH NOVEMBER 2015 Trim Ref: D15/86414 Rainfall and inflows Very hot weather affected most of the southern Murray–Darling Basin during the last week. This was due to a slow-moving high pressure system over the Tasman Sea which drew dry and hot air across from central Australia. At Renmark Airport the temperature reached 42.7 degrees on Thursday; whilst Broken Hill Airport and Griffith Airport AWS saw temperatures above 41 degrees. Conditions were mostly dry across the Basin, with the only significant rain occurring in the northeast (see Map 1 below). The highest weekly rainfall totals were in Queensland with 57 mm at Clifton, 38 mm at Pratten and 37 mm at Ellangowan. In NSW, Glen Innes Airport AWS received 19 mm in the past week. Map 1 - Murray-Darling Basin rainfall week ending 25th November 2015 (Source: Bureau of Meteorology) With the hot, dry weather over the past week, inflows have continued to reduce. Despite a small spike in inflows due to the rain earlier in the month, the past few weeks of dry weather have seen inflows to the Murray system for November continue to track well below the long-term average – approximately the same position as last year (see graph on page six of this report). With the current El Niño conditions and the recent BoM estimate that 2015 will be in the top 10 hottest years on record for Australia, it is unlikely that the inflow trend will change.
