In addition to the Darling River Run Promotional video, we are also very proud to present two music videos from Donna who has generously donated two beautiful and emotive songs.

The first song, 'Take Time', is a wonderful reminder that our modern life can at times be very hectic and we should sometimes take time from our hectic schedules and experience what is around us; something Outback NSW and The Darling River Run is perfect for.

The second, ' Amazing Grace', has been provided as a dedication to the efforts of The Royal Flying Doctors Service which tirelessly provides a 'helping hand' to the vast Australian Outback for locals and travellers alike. Donna lends her beautiful and angelic voice to a song that is familiar to most and this poignant rendition is made evermore so with the accompanying vision.

So sit back, enjoy learning about the Darling River Run, be reminded that we all need to 'take time', and let us remember and salute the wonderful job the RFDS does.
