Im not sure if this one has come up in discussion but I thought I would mention it anyway. Its on Tuesday nights at 8PM on the ABC and its focus is the rescue helicopters based in Townsville and Cairns. Ive found it quite interesting and i reckon some of you guys will too.

Did I hear at the end it was the final episode tonight? And then next week there's some show on about what goes on inside an extreme sportspersons brain

We lived in Cairns for a while and these rescue guys are busy as...

The only thing that stops them is extreme weather and waiting on the helipad in front of Cairns Base Hospital for a doctor thats free.

They had 3 choppers i think in Cairns alone, A primary, secondary and spare...They were also used as water bombers for fires.
