On Tuesday 6 January 2004, Thomas was born several weeks early on a Flying Doctor aircraft as it landed at Tamworth Airporty Thomas’ parents, Genienne and James Ellis, live in the outback, a long way from any towns. ‘This is the third time the Flying Doctors have come to my aid, It'sa wonderful organisation and | don't know what | would have done without: them,’ Genienne said The Flying Doctor service started in 1928. 1t Was the idea of Reverend John Flynn, a church minister who was working in the Australian outback. He had many stories to tell about how necessary an aerial medical service was, including one about Jimmy Darcy. Jimmy had a bad fall, and it took his friends twelve hours to take him thirty miles to the nearest town. The only person there who knew first aid was the Postmaster, and he performed a seven-hour operation without anaesthetic, following instructions in Morse code from his first aid teacher, who was 2,000 miles away. Unfortunately, jimmy died ten days later. In May 1928, Dr St Vincent Welch made the first offical flying doctor visit. In the following year he ‘saw 255 patients. He had no radio, and used a ‘compass and landmarks like rivers and fences to find. his way. Nowadays the Royal Flying Doctor Service has forty-six planes, attends about 500 patients each day and services an area of 7,150,000 square kilometres. The service is available twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. Modern technology is also available: the doctors have digital cameras and video conferencing facilites. However, a pilot might still need the help of ordinary people on the ground when he is landing the plane in the outback: sometimes he asks them to do a ‘oo run’, which means driving up and down the landing area to frighten off kangaroos and other wild animals! People who have never been to Australia have often heard of the Flying Doctors. In the 1980s a TV series was made about them, and shown in fifty countries. Also, next time you have an Australian $20 note, look more closely — the Flying Doctors and their founder, John Flynn, are on one ‘face’ of the note.

It is so big that you could fit more than one million Earths inside it. The Sun is the only star we see during the daytime Mercury is thirty-six million miles from the Sun and has no moons. It takes eighty-eight days to go round the Sun (at thirty miles per second), which means that there are fewer than two days in a year. ‘Venus is the closest planet to the Earth, It has a very hot surface and no moons. Its the brightest planet and can sometimes be seen with the naked eye if you know where to look. It is sometimes the cause of UFO reports The Earth is orbited by one moon and is ninety-three million miles away from the Sun. The average year is actually 365 days, five hours, forty-eight minutes and 45.51 seconds. Three quarters of the Earth is covered by water. Mars is a cold, red, rocky planet with two very small moons which orbit close to the surface. It is the home of the ‘Olympus Mons’, the largest volcano found in the solar system. It is twenty-seven kilometres high and its crater is eight-one kilometres wide. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, with sixteen moons. It spins very quickly on its axis, and one day lasts nine hours and fifty-five minutes. Saturn has eighteen moons and is over 800 million miles ftom the Earth, It is the second biggest planet but also the lightest.

Pluto is the only planet that has not been Visited by a spacecraft. Because it is so small, it was not discovered until 1930.
