On The Road Again Tours

Raising much needed funding for the RFDS and having a blast along the way!

A New Year and Exciting Milestones for OTRA!

As we enter 2025, we’re excited to look back on another successful year for OTRA. In 2024, we raised an impressive $79,200 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), including a $45,000 donation made in January 2024 from funds raised in 2023.

This brings our total contributions to over $650,000 in the 15 years since OTRA was established.

2024 also saw incredible fundraising efforts from our participants, with 7 cars raising at least five times the minimum donation and several others raising seven to eight times the minimum. The dedication and hard work of our members is truly appreciated, and we’ve set a new fundraising standard for the future!
