Outback NSW recently adopted one of Donna's stunning songs from her current album for their existing tourism campaign. The track, Take Time, is a reminder that our modern life can be very hectic and we should "take time" out to experience the world and people around us.

Donna's current album, Luckiest Girl Alive, saw her team up with producers David Carter and Adrian Hannan, who has worked with other Aussie songbirds Gabriella Cilmi, Vanessa Amorossi, Delta Goodrem.

The album, launched at the Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre to an audience of 1600 plus country music fans, has so far had 3 Top 5 singles and saw Donna announced as a finalist at the Australian Songwriting Contest.

In addition to using Donna's single, Outback NSW Tourism and The Darling River Run project have created a music video clip for Donna's haunting version of Amazing Grace. The clip is to create awareness of the Royal
Flying Doctors Service and features vision of the work they do on a daily basis.

So Take Time to visit Outback NSW and Donna Boyd at their stand during the Queensland Caravan and Camping Show. RNA Showgrounds June 3rd - 9th.
