Cindy and Brian Bushfield, two very keen golfers from Canada have walked the entire Nullarbor Links Golf Course. The two fundraisers arrived in Kalgoorlie on Tuesday 13 April 2010.
What an amazing adventure, It takes a great deal of courage and conviction to attempt this amazing feat and raise funds for the Royal flying Doctor Service.

We congratulate Brian and Cindy after having completed their walk. We encourage everyone in Australia to raise their glass and afford these two wonderful characters all the accolades that this amazing completed task deserves.
