About this episode

The episode explores T's getaway, thoughts while flying, and the history of the Burke and Wills expedition along with the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

In Episode 120 of The Reride Podcast, the lads dive into T’s little getaway and the strange thoughts that seem to hit when you’re sitting on a plane. Ever wondered if anyone else thinks the same random things while flying? The boys unpack it all with plenty of laughs along the way. The episode also follows a trip up to Cloncurry, stepping out of the comfort zone once again, making memories, and appreciating the little things in life. With a love for Australian history, there was no shortage of stories to uncover around the area. Including the famous Burke and Wills expedition. The boys chat about the historic journey from 1860 that saw the explorers attempt to cross Australia, a story still talked about today. They also dive into the beginnings of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, which started in Cloncurry, discussing how it grew from a small rural operation into the lifesaving service it is today, helping thousands of people across rural Australia every year. This episode is packed with history, great yarns, plenty of laughs, and the usual Reride banter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
