Email us – media@newsofthearea.com.au There was one crew each from Coffs Harbour, Kempsey, Lake Cathie and Old Bar and two each from South West Rocks and Tuncurry. The off-road exercises were designed to introduce paramedics to the vehicle’s specialised features and capabilities through a series of challenging driving situations. The two-day course entailed navigating difficult terrain; including on the beach at Mylestom and in the bush near Bellingen. NSW Ambulance says that all paramedics passed the tough training regime with flying colours. This means that should the need arise, they will be able to reach people safely in any location, regardless of the conditions. By Sue STEPHENSON
