royal flying doctor service visitors centre, dubbo印象
-
The ladies there were fantastic, they know their information and it was great to see some of the old items on display. It's only a small place so it doesn't take long to go through it. But it is defiantly worth the stop. We went with a 3yold and a 12yold and they both enjoyed watching the planes and chatting with the volunteers. Thank you ladies.

The Royal Flying Doctor base at Dubbo hosts a visitors' centre, staffed by lovely and personable volunteers. On the day of our visit, there was a definite order to the visit - a video first, followed by a tour around the small collection at the centre. The centre looks out over the hanger with the "real live" RFDS aeroplane and the RFDS aeroplane simulator was also at the base when we visited (how do they fit everything in there??) As supporters of the RFDS, the two adults of our party really enjoyed this experience - it gave us the feeling of having been a little bit outback, even though we were only in Dubbo and we learnt quite a bit about the work of the RFDS. For our primary school aged children, it was a bit long and not as engaging, though they enjoyed the simulator and looking out over the hanger. Definitely worthwhile - and the entry fee is very low ($3 for adults, $1 for children).

We visited the centre while visiting Broken Hill to give the kids a bit of an educational boost about life in the 'outback'. The show was a little confronting for our kids - sick people, glimpses of a birth and the like - but I think it did them some good (our kids are 5, 7 & 10yrs). I wouldn't bother visiting the centre unless you saw the show which was a small fee which I didn't mind paying as it goes to a good cause. It gave all of us a better understanding of the enormity of the Australian interior and that the RFDS helps everyone out there (even us road trippers!).My young engineers left animately talking about how to invent robot medics and Emergency transport pods for the Stations so you never know!

So informative and interesting - brilliant and friendly volunteers - never knew half of how vital this service is

The guides are very chatty, welcoming and informative. You get to understand the enormity of what the RFDS does and how important it is for people outside the major cities. The whole family was entranced.

The centre is located next to the Macquarie Lions Park. Look for the statues of the Rhino mother and calf at the entry. There is plenty of parking available.The friendly staff will provide you with a range of information on local attractions and events, in the area, as well as the usual maps, brochures and a selection of souvenirs and other merchandise.

I have known about the RFDS forever, but to understand just how they operate and to get up close to the aircraft was great. The staff were pleasant and knowledgeable and made the visit entertaining for the parents and kids.
-
A detailed insight into the RFDS operation. A video presentation and talk by the dedicated volunteers. Views through the window of the aircraft hangar and workshop as well as a gift shop for souvenirs of your visit.

Liked all of it but especially the plane mock up. Run by enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers. Good gift shop too, we're all wearing RFDS shirts now.

It is worth the time to visit the RFDS visitors centre Dubbo, There was an explanation of their services and also an audiovisual presentation and a look inside the simulater of one of the aircrafts. It was interesting to learn about the many facets of this worthwhile service.
