0:00:02 > 0:00:04They're the Brits who race to the rescue down under.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06'Multiple patients critical.'
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Everyday heroes saving lives...
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- Battling fires... - 'Do not go out there! Too late!'
0:00:14 > 0:00:16It can be extremely dangerous.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18- ..and fighting crime... - Put your arm down!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Police, open the door!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23From the big city to the outback...
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Our policing district is bigger than the whole of the UK.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27From the bush...
0:00:27 > 0:00:30He's been crushed between one of those Dingo diggers and a ute.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33..to Bondi Beach...
0:00:33 > 0:00:35The search continues for a British tourist
0:00:35 > 0:00:37who hasn't been seen since he went for a swim.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40You never quite know what you're in for or what's going to happen.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- 332, mate...- Very high impact. He's really quite critically injured.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Brits on blue lights under blue skies.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Today, down under,
0:00:57 > 0:01:01flying doctor Chris races to the rescue of a farmer's wife.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03The casualty has punctured a main artery.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06He's in possession of a firearm.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10British policeman Haydn joins the hunt for a wanted man
0:01:10 > 0:01:11who's believed to be armed...
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Police, open the door!
0:01:13 > 0:01:14BANGING
0:01:15 > 0:01:18..and an air ambulance hits rough weather
0:01:18 > 0:01:21with a tiny patient and new mum on board.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23We've got five minutes of clear,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27then we're going to hit a big ball of cloud, so we will get more turbulence, OK?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Australia's farmers feed half the world.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Food's one of its biggest exports, but it's a dangerous business.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Today, two Brits are flying to the rescue of another casualty in the countryside.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Very limited information at the moment
0:01:52 > 0:01:56other than that the casualty has been pierced by a bullhorn
0:01:56 > 0:01:58into a leg.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The report that's come is that it's punctured a main artery.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Arterial bleeds can kill in minutes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06What's your ETA?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Ten minutes, mate.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Flying doctor Chris Cheeseman from Staffordshire will treat the patient.
0:02:11 > 0:02:131.27.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16It's RAF veteran John Legg's job to get him there.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Before I moved to Australia, I was in the Air Force,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23operating on the Chinook helicopter in places like Afghanistan.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Obviously, the type of work that we're doing is different,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29but the foundations are the same.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32What's the suburb called?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Gloss-a-dee-a?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Glossodia.- Glossodia, copy.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Turning around, ASAP.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43You are looking at just trying to find something pretty well on top of the property...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46We should be able to ID it straightaway...
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Thanks to satellite navigation,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51the CareFlight team can fly straight to the scene.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Basically, at the end of Bounty Road, there is a Bounty Road Reserve
0:02:54 > 0:02:56and that's where we'll go.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59But there's no room for error landing here...
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Check right. Check right. - Clear right, clear right.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Thank you. 20 below.
0:03:09 > 0:03:1015...
0:03:13 > 0:03:1410...
0:03:16 > 0:03:175...
0:03:19 > 0:03:244, 3, 2, 1...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Left is on.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Right is on.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33The patient's in the care of local paramedics.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Hi, there, love. How are you doing?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Farmer's wife Debbie Abrahams has a deep wound to her thigh.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I'm Chris, one of the CareFlight doctors
0:03:41 > 0:03:44and we have got our flight paramedic here with us, Greg.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47She was out feeding a cow and as she opened the gate,
0:03:47 > 0:03:48the cow come through
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and the horn got her in the side of the leg just here.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52She fell down and started bleeding.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I'm just going to have a quick look at this wound, OK.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Was this the only injury?- Yup.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Um, let me know if it's too painful for you, OK?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05There's no active bleeding there.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I think it's relatively superficial,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10in terms of it may be down to the fascia,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- but we can get obs, package and keep an eye.- Yep.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I think, guys, if we can just get a dressing on there, like a combine or something.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21And then that's pretty much all we'll need, really.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Debbie has been lucky.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26The horn came within millimetres of her femoral artery.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30She may need surgery to the wound - it's very deep.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33She'll also need antibiotics.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I think we need to get you to hospital, obviously,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37where they can have a proper look at that.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Obviously the cow's a little bit dirty,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42so it needs a good wash out and a good clean-up of that, OK?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Paramedics are just going to put a dressing on there for you
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and then we're going to probably take you to Westmead Hospital.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52That's where we normally go, all right?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54What I might do, if it's OK, is take some pictures of the horns
0:04:54 > 0:04:57cos it will help the doctors in the hospital just to sort of see.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I thought you were going to take him for a barbecue or something!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Yes, well, we can do that later! Absolutely.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Hello.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09There we go. Come on, move out the way, beautiful.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It's much easier to show the team back at the hospital.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17They can visualise the actual wound and the damage that's been caused.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So rather than trying to describe it, we can actually show it to them.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23It's very useful information for them.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29As soon as you leave the Sydney urban area, it does get quite rural.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34There is a lot of farms and a lot of accidents do happen on farms.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35We visit them quite a lot.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41When the phone rings, we don't know what we're going to get,
0:05:41 > 0:05:45so having that flexibility to be able to take each job as it comes
0:05:45 > 0:05:47is quite important.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Dr Chris came down under for the work and the weather
0:05:51 > 0:05:55and today it's reminding him of his home in England.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Are you OK?- I'm OK.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- You're OK, are you? - Surprisingly, I'm all right.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03This is rain, this is water. I know you're scared of it(!)
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Debbie was soon sent home.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07She needed 60 stitches in her leg.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17There's a beach...
0:06:19 > 0:06:21..boats...
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and plenty of fish and chips.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Welcome to Scarborough - Australian style.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30It's a seaside suburb of Perth,
0:06:30 > 0:06:3412,000 miles from the Yorkshire resort that gave it its name
0:06:34 > 0:06:38and Brits play a major role in keeping the peace here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I'm currently the shift supervisor
0:06:40 > 0:06:45of one of the local policing teams at Scarborough police station.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Sgt Haydn Farrow left the Warwickshire force six years ago
0:06:48 > 0:06:53and now cruises seaside streets that present many of the policing problems
0:06:53 > 0:06:56that confront officers on the English coast.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58We do get a lot of crime here,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00a lot of people pass through this area, as well.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So, you know, it does make it difficult to investigate crimes
0:07:03 > 0:07:06if you've got an offender passing through the area
0:07:06 > 0:07:07and you'll never see them again.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Today, Haydn is joining a police raid on the home of a wanted man,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16who may be in possession of a gun.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19He's wanted for questioning and for burglary a month ago.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21There are alerts on the system.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23There's also a dog in the back garden.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Two-storey house. We're going to go up to the front door...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29He has a firearms warning against his name
0:07:29 > 0:07:32on the police computer records.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Unlike Britain, in Australia all police officers are armed.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40It was one of the concerns when I moved over from the UK to Australia,
0:07:40 > 0:07:44knowing that I would have to wear a firearm
0:07:44 > 0:07:46every time I was on duty and, you know,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50the concerns you have if you get involved in a fight, that someone would grab it off you.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53But, actually, I'd probably feel quite vulnerable
0:07:53 > 0:07:55if I wasn't wearing a firearm now,
0:07:55 > 0:07:59knowing that there are people out there
0:07:59 > 0:08:01that want to injure police officers.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08The scene of the raid is just ten minutes from the station
0:08:08 > 0:08:11in an upmarket residential area.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18So the plan is that myself and Sam will go with the investigating officers.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22We'll head to the front door,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25while the other unit goes round the side,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28just in case he is inside and does a runner.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34The police are arriving in force.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You go to the front.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46HE KNOCKS
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Open the door.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Open the door, we're going to push the door in!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Open the door.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59There's no answer and with the possibility of an armed man inside,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03they must get in by any means they can.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04KNOCKING CONTINUES
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- One more. - Open the door - it's going in.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Police, open the door! Police, open the door!
0:09:10 > 0:09:11BANGING
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Police! Police!- 'I'm coming.'
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Open the door!
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Come out now. Turn around.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Turn around.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Stay where you are. - Hands on your pockets!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Put your hands on your head! Put your hands on your head!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Turn around.- Turn around.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Do it now! - Turn around, give me your hands.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- My arm, my arm!- All right, relax.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30What is this for?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33The wanted man is quickly subdued.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36You got him?
0:09:36 > 0:09:41He comes quietly and his wife will also be going on a ride to the police station.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48The male and female were a little bit distressed at the police entry,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50however, you know, it was a safe result.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53We were in there, they were both handcuffed very quickly.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55No officers got injured.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59I think that's where local policing, you know, kicks in.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02We've got a little bit extra time there to plan what we're doing
0:10:02 > 0:10:07and do a bit of research, look at the intelligence,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10see what resources are available for the arrest.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12You know, that's a great result.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14The couple are on their way for questioning
0:10:14 > 0:10:18and Haydn is once again free to patrol the streets of Scarborough.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19It does make a difference
0:10:19 > 0:10:22from policing the grey streets of the UK, I must say.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Some pretty special houses here, as you can see.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33No guns were found
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and the couple who were arrested were later released.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43INDISTINCT ON RADIO
0:10:46 > 0:10:51In Australia, hundreds of newborn babies arrive by air.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52- ON RADIO:- 'Maintain 3,000,'
0:10:52 > 0:10:54INDISTINCT
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- ON RADIO:- 'Maintain 3,000.'
0:10:56 > 0:11:00British nurse Juanita Ameghino, originally from Jersey,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02is in charge of an airborne mother and baby unit
0:11:02 > 0:11:06that flies expectant mums to the big city maternity hospitals
0:11:06 > 0:11:09and then brings them home again.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I can see my back garden today.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Today she and pilot Steve have been scrambled to fly home
0:11:16 > 0:11:21a diabetic mum and her newborn baby from the Aussie capital Canberra.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23He is a big baby.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29He was born at 3.77 kilos which is actually quite large
0:11:29 > 0:11:32for 34 plus 2 prematurity. And mum has type I diabetes
0:11:32 > 0:11:35so that was the reason for her macrosomic baby.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37She's very pleased actually that she didn't go to term
0:11:37 > 0:11:41because he would have been 12lb or something like that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45The mother, Adriana Pasquetti, is ready to return to the small town of Griffith,
0:11:45 > 0:11:51population 16,000, an hour's flight from Canberra. Although her baby
0:11:51 > 0:11:55is here now, the birth could have been very different.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57When I had no foetal movement I was a bit worried
0:11:57 > 0:11:59so I thought I'd just check it out.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01They sent me straight to Griffith hospital
0:12:01 > 0:12:05'and then that night we got flown to Canberra hospital.'
0:12:05 > 0:12:10He's had a few echoes done and he's having a follow-up...
0:12:10 > 0:12:11But there are still concerns.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Flying baby Parker means
0:12:13 > 0:12:17they will never be more than half an hour from a hospital
0:12:17 > 0:12:18if things go wrong.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21The muscles in his heart were quite large
0:12:21 > 0:12:23so there was less room for blood to flow.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26But that seems to be improving a lot.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30The doctors have been very happy with his recovery and progress.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33So he's a big bub. He was eight pound four when I had him.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37'We're just working on his feeds now. But he's done really well.'
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Beautiful. Hello. You're little boy now, aren't you?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45OK, just some support would be great.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50As well as keeping baby Parker happy on his flight, Juanita, who
0:12:50 > 0:12:55trained in the NHS, must also care for his mum, who's a nervous flyer.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Might hit a little bit of turbulence
0:12:57 > 0:13:00coming out of Canberra so it may be a little bit bumpy.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03If we have an emergency landing, I'll call out, "brace".
0:13:03 > 0:13:06If we have to go down in a hurry, that's our emergency exit there,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and there's one over each wing.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10We are all set, ready for another bout of good fun.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Good to go, thank you.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Nurse Juanita's an expert at reassuring passengers.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19We have a lot of turbulence coming out of Canberra
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and Adriana is quite frightened.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I just try and make light of it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I try not to get too caught up in their fear,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29and just have a conversation with them about something else,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32and they tend to realise that it is actually all OK,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34and of course it is quite safe,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37otherwise I wouldn't be doing this for a job!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Juanita is giving Parker oxygen
0:13:39 > 0:13:43and carefully monitoring his temperature and his heart rhythm.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46It is difficult in the cramped cabin.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So we've got five minutes of clear, Steve has just told me,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55and then we are going to hit a big wall of cloud.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57So we will get more turbulence, OK?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I'll live.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05You don't mind, do you? You're quite happy.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09If I stop pulling around at your head, you'll probably be happier.
0:14:09 > 0:14:1122075, at 3,000...
0:14:11 > 0:14:15The pressure changes up here can affect babies more than adults.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18The baby is not able to equalise.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Which can affect their ears when we're going up,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23on ascend, and when we are landing on descent.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Particularly more on descent, I have noticed,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28in my work that I have done with the babies.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Really, aside from that, they travel very well.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It is just a case of keeping them warm and secure.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37They actually like the noise of the plane.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It kinds of settles them, a bit like in the back of the car seat,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42everybody knows that baby always falls asleep in the car
0:14:42 > 0:14:44and then wakes up as soon as you stop the engine.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46It's similar in the plane.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Rainswept Griffith is a welcome sight for Mum.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56In just 20 minutes, she and Parker will be home.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00But Dad is barely a quarter of the way through a four-hour drive
0:15:00 > 0:15:02back from the hospital.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Back to the land of the red soil, yeah?- Yeah!
0:15:05 > 0:15:10You did very well. You only looked frightened half a dozen times!
0:15:13 > 0:15:15That was quite a bumpy flight, so...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18That is the most bumpiest I've had.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Definitely. It is not usually that bumpy, just one of those days, yeah.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I was the wuss, Parker was the strong little man,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32so, it was a bit bumpy, but it was only short.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Parker, he was good - you didn't mind at all, did you?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38The air pressure didn't seem to bother him at all,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40he is a big, beautiful baby boy.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43So I'm going to take him through the rain, wrapped up in my jacket,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46and give him back to Mum now.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49The family is soon reunited.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Another happy arrival for Juanita and her plane.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06The streets of Scarborough
0:16:06 > 0:16:09are popular with British newcomers to Australia.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12One in four residents of this beachfront suburb
0:16:12 > 0:16:14was born in the UK.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19This town was a snake-infested swamp until 100 years ago.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Now, Sgt Haydn Farrow, originally of Warwickshire police,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24calls it home.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27This job has just come in, a report from a hotel that a male
0:16:27 > 0:16:29is causing a disturbance in the car park.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34The guy there is alleging that they have stolen his mobile phone,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37so we will take a look and see what is in it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Haydn and his Aussie partner are on their way to the seafront.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45The incident has happened at the Indian Ocean hotel.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47He appears to be agitated.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50The man who called the police is waiting for them to arrive.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53He has just checked out after an overnight stay.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56He has certainly got a bit of property on his car.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I'm just a bit upset because I lost my phone and I have to work.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I'm looking through my stuff now to see if I've misplaced it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I haven't accused them of anything yet.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19But if it is not in my car, it is in the hotel.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- What room were you in? - 309.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23The guest says he lost his mobile phone
0:17:23 > 0:17:26and he is alleging it has been stolen.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29There are two accounts of this morning's events.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34And the woman on reception doesn't agree with the man's story.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35He checked out this morning
0:17:35 > 0:17:37and he came down and just gave me a few words
0:17:37 > 0:17:40about how all the staff thought he was cool, and blah blah blah,
0:17:40 > 0:17:45and he came back about an hour ago saying his mobile phone was stolen.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48And so was the room cleaned, on him checking out?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51On checkout we checked the room, we always do check the rooms,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54and there was just a mess. OK.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56He didn't even sleep in the bed, actually.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Oh, OK, so he never slept there last night?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Well, he's been up all night. - Oh, OK.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05We'll just go and speak to him, and get him to leave the premises.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09A passerby is keen to see what is going on.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Do you mind if we just speak to this gentleman?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13And then we can get things finalised.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Do you mind if I enjoy witnessing it?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Because this gentleman has asked me if I...
0:18:17 > 0:18:19It's fine. Yeah, that's fine.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22All they are requesting for you now is to leave the car park, all right?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Pack your stuff up, and go.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Obviously there was... They admit there was a little bit of argument
0:18:26 > 0:18:29between staff and yourself, that is finished now.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Best thing you can do now is get in your car,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34pack your stuff up, then head on to wherever you are going next.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Is that all right?
0:18:35 > 0:18:40That is such a civil, reasonable, UK attitude to this situation.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Nice to meet you too, sir.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Are you visiting or are you resident?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- I am a citizen.- Citizen? Well, congratulations again.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Enjoy this country. This is a great country.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50English accents are common in Perth,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53but British policemen are still a novelty.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59- I have met a couple of interesting UK and Ireland...- Irish coppers?
0:18:59 > 0:19:04- Yeah, yeah. And they are so at home here.- There's plenty of them here.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- It is, yeah. Oh, well. - Thank you very much.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Now there is good news for the man looking for his phone.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15A member of hotel staff may have found the missing handset.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- So if this is his phone, that should ring. Yeah.- It's ringing.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24And thanks to Haydn's simplest piece of detective work today,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26its identity is confirmed.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Magic.- Oh, really? - How's that?- Wow.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Don't say we never do anything for you.- So they found it?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Yeah, you left it on a stool inside.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Oh, yeah, I thought I might have put it somewhere.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38The angry guest is free to go.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40And Haydn can get back on patrol,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43safeguarding the streets of the seaside town
0:19:43 > 0:19:45that is now his home from home.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Interesting job, with the visitor from...- Oh, yeah.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I thought at first he was like, a witness, or something.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55And he just wanted to start talking to you. I was like, hang on.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57A lot of the Australian people, when we deal with them,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00pick up immediately that my accent is an English accent.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03And it is a bit of an icebreaker at times.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06You know, it can defuse a situation.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09So the phone has been returned, we have checked that out,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11and he is happy, the staff are happy that we attended,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14there has been no further allegations,
0:20:14 > 0:20:18there's no criminal offence established,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21so, overall, a nice little job.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Aussie farmers work 2½ million square miles of land,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39three times the area of the UK.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41The rugged landscape down under
0:20:41 > 0:20:44means only the toughest breeds can survive.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48And that goes for the farmers too. Many never retire.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Two, three, four...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Irish doctor Fergal McCourt
0:20:55 > 0:20:58is used to treating patients who shrug off pain
0:20:58 > 0:21:00and ignore serious injuries.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05And he knows when a farmer calls for help, he really needs it.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Just in case we are spending the night out there.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Don't want to snuggle up beside you in a tent.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14On a remote property on the edge of the Blue Mountains,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18west of Sydney, a farmer is lying seriously injured.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20He needs the flying doctor.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- What is the estimated ETA? - 40 minutes.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26It is near a hamlet called Dark Corner.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Its name is appropriate.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Nightfall is now less than an hour away.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35By the time we arrive at the scene, we will just be on last light.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37There we go, lifting.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Rescue 24, Air Medical Control.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Yes, thank you, Rescue 24 is now departing,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46tracking towards Dark Corner.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Fergal is travelling 100 miles to treat a man
0:21:49 > 0:21:51who has been injured in a quad bike crash.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Accidents like this are the biggest killers of Australian farmers.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57It was a relative's quad bike.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00We don't know exactly the time of the incident
0:22:00 > 0:22:03but the prehospital information that we have so far
0:22:03 > 0:22:05is that he is conscious,
0:22:05 > 0:22:10and that he is complaining of chest pain, and pelvic pain.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13This is more than likely a farming community,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17so these vehicles are used on farms
0:22:17 > 0:22:18and, yeah, by all age groups,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22we see even children of all ages riding these bikes,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25on any kind of slope, or travelling around a corner at speed,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27they're actually quite unstable,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29and we commonly see them rolling over,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33and once they roll, there is no protection.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Local paramedics are on scene
0:22:35 > 0:22:39to guide in Rescue 24 in the failing light.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44112, this is helicopter Rescue 24,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47we are about four minutes from your location.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Just wondering if you could put your beacons on, and once you hear us,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54could you ignite a flare in for us? Over.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57The only hazards we've got is trees to the western side.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Hand your searchlights out as well, please.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Harnesses checked, left and right door back,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06set in a confined area, four o'clock now, at 300.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10We will go for this little dip. Continue forward, 150 to run.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Clear down below on the right. Check left.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14How's that left-hand side looking?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16They've landed in a paddock.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- How you doing?- How are you?- Good, thank you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Good, yourself? - Pretty good, thanks.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- How is he doing in there? - Quite stable.- Yeah, good.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- Hi there.- How you going? - Hello, sir.- How you going, buddy?
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Good, mate.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33This is Ken Smith. He is 81.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36At 2:30 today he was riding his quad bike.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Ken was out inspecting the cattle on the family farm
0:23:39 > 0:23:41when his quad bike crashed.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43..and he actually, bless his heart,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46immediately got up and managed to walk 300 metres,
0:23:46 > 0:23:47using two sticks as crutches.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49But it took him half an hour.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Any treatment so far, then, by you guys?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Just the Hartmann's, and the pelvic sheet. That's it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57And that's a 20 in the back of his left hand?
0:23:57 > 0:23:58- Yes, correct.- Understood.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- Do you have any pain at the moment, sir?- It's sore.- It's sore.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Fergal knows that the accident
0:24:04 > 0:24:07could have caused serious internal injuries.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10And despite his fitness, Ken's age is against him.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Did you bump your head at all when this happened?- No.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Didn't bump your head?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17And are you sore in your neck at all?
0:24:17 > 0:24:18I'm going to feel down your neck.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I want you to tell me if it hurts anywhere, OK?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22So, you stay there, just where you are.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- How about on the bony bit, just there? Does it hurt there?- Yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27How about further around the back?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Oh, yeah.- A bit there too?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- You can feel me touch you on that leg?- Oh, yeah, yeah.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35And all the way down to the toes?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38You feel me scratch you, there, yeah? Good, OK.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40So it looks like, I mean,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42his main pain is the left lower ribs, anteriorly.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45He has got some similar on the right-hand side. OK.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Left and right ribs, OK. - Left more than right.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54- OK, and just a bit of pelvic pain. - Yes.- OK.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58He is using ultrasound to look for blood in his abdomen.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00That's it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04So just a prehospital ultrasound, and we have got spleen here,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06and we can scan through, we've got kidneys.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07So we look for a dark line
0:25:07 > 0:25:10in the area between the spleen and the kidney
0:25:10 > 0:25:12and that would indicate free fluid.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14And in the context of trauma,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18free fluid would indicate bleeding into his abdomen.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23And we look at a kind of similar site on the opposite side,
0:25:23 > 0:25:28where we can get the liver, just try and get the best view we can there.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32So we get liver here, and then kidney here.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35And again we are looking for a strip of black fluid
0:25:35 > 0:25:36between the liver and the kidney.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Indicating bleeding in the context of trauma.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41And he doesn't have that sign.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42So it would appear that
0:25:42 > 0:25:45he doesn't have any intra-abdominal injury at all.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47It is looking good for Ken, so far.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51But he is clearly in severe pain from his chest.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Oh, bit sore there. - Ooh, sorry now, sir.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00- Just checking the lung on that side. - That's a sore side.- Sorry.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03What did you used to do out here? Were you a farmer?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- All my life. - All your life, a farmer.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06He has cracked some ribs.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09One of the most painful injuries you can suffer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13But the flying doctor fears he has also broken his pelvis.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Ken will need intensive care back in the city.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21He will be taken to Westmead Hospital in Sydney.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It is a really good hospital, OK?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27The flight is about 35 minutes.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31It is noisy, OK? So we will put some headphones on you.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34And we can talk to you all the way through.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Thankfully the patient is very stable at the moment.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40His GCS is 15 which means he is fully alert and conscious,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43and his vital signs are stable at the moment.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46We have assessed him really from top to toe
0:26:46 > 0:26:48and the only area of injury
0:26:48 > 0:26:50that we can find that he seems to complain of
0:26:50 > 0:26:53is mostly just the anterior ribs on the left side of his chest.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57The 35-mile flight will mean crossing the Blue Mountains.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Altitude can affect people with chest injuries.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Every breath is painful for Ken.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Sydney operations.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Turn back to your station then I will be on your station
0:27:12 > 0:27:16all the way to Westmead, thanks. Over.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Wind is probably a bit of a north-west,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22so I will swing around to the right, land towards the north.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29The team can use image-intensifying goggles to work at night.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32That is why the helicopter has green lights.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Wheels over the deck.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Clear down left.
0:27:44 > 0:27:50There you go, champ. How was that, Ken? Champion.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55OK.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- Uh, Louis?- Yes.- What side are you going to unload on?
0:28:01 > 0:28:02This side here? My side?
0:28:05 > 0:28:06- Here we go.- OK.- That's it.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- Keep your arms inside all the time, mate.- That's it.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11The Westmead Hospital
0:28:11 > 0:28:15is among Australia's biggest and best trauma units.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Ken will soon be undergoing body scans and x-rays.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24After an assessment, it is confirmed that Ken has six broken ribs.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Following treatment, he made a full recovery
0:28:27 > 0:28:30and is now working on the family farm again.
