The Driver Reviver service at Narromine is open for service.
In preparation for the increased traffic expected on local roads for the King’s Birthday long weekend, Narromine Rescue Squad (VRA Rescue NSW) opened its local Driver Reviver operation at 6.00 pm on Friday, June 9.
Operating from the council-owned facility at the Narromine saleyards, just a stone’s throw from the Mitchell Highway located 150 metres away, the local Driver Reviver program is staffed entirely by volunteers from the 18-member Narromine Rescue Squad.
Opening at times of peak travel including long weekends, the local Driver Reviver is one of 180 sites across Australia that play an important role in addressing fatigue-related road trauma. The sites provide a safe spot for travellers to stop, rest, and enjoy free refreshments provided by the federally-funded not-for-profit program.
