ODT Australis has long been a committed supporter of the RFDS.  Living in remote communities, we understand better than most how crucial their service is.

ODT Australis has rallied the community to donate goods of all shapes, sizes and values.  Sports memorabilia, electrical goods, bottles of wine, paintings and other artworks, outdoor heaters, barbecues, bags of cement..... everything goes on the back of our semis and is auctioned back to the community.

Over the years, the auctions got bigger, the days got better and the funds raised got larger.  By 2004 we'd helped our community contribute over $1,000,000 to this worthy cause.

We're intensely proud to be actively involved with such a dynamic and generous community and look forward to growing with Roxby Downs and doing even more!
