In a busy kitchen at an outback mine site, a group of women cooking Christmas puddings have raised millions of dollars for Broken Hill's Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).
Some of the women have travelled hundreds of kilometres from remote stations to help out in the three-week operation, raising funds for a beloved outback institution.
RFDS Women's Auxillary Broken Hill branch president Merrylyn Turner said the group made more than 2,000 puddings this year, and their goal was to sell all of them.
