Best Rural EMS Service in the World

[BEorP]

I recently left EMS to attend medical school. I have a four week rural placement in a few months and the school seems fairly flexible about who I do it with in terms of what type of healthcare provider (the skills they want us to demonstrate at this point are fairly basic). The main thing is that it needs to be in a rural location (and in a developed county like Australia). As much as it would be great to branch out from EMS and do something more "medical" in a hospital, I miss EMS and hope that it will be something that I am involved in for my entire career so this could be a great opportunity to get exposure to a system somewhere else. As I further consider my options, I was just wondering whether anyone has suggestions on where I might like to try to go. Australia and New Zealand are obviously high on the list due to their strong EMS systems (and proximity!). Any other suggestions of places to look for an EMS service that would offer a quality rural placement?

When I was in Oz back in the 70's the folks up in the northern territory were a pretty good unit. Worked with the crews in Darwin for a time after a cyclone hit.

They sure did know how to have a party after work Fair dinkum!
