Medical Mission

A high-octane adventure series for children written in partnership with the Royal Flying Doctor Service. The challenges of outback life create a double mission for the RFDS! In the middle of the night Josh watches as a Royal Flying Doctor Service plane lands on his family’s cattle station, just outside of Coober Pedy. The RFDS are there to help his mother deliver her baby, but after the birth both his mom and the baby need to be taken to hospital. Josh and his dad stay to look after their property, and Josh starts organizing a fundraiser for the RFDS. His efforts are cut short when he is bitten by a deadly snake—time is now ticking to get Josh the antivenom he needs.
