Channel 7 drama RFDS has taken home the Logie for Best Drama, beating a strong field of rivals including Dear Life, Heartbreak High, Mystery Road: Origin, The Twelve: Cape Rock Killer and Watching You.

The win marks a huge night for the series, which scored three Logies nominations overall.

Speaking after the win, the cast told The Nightly they were keen to return for another season, saying telling regional Australian stories was a beautiful way to showcase “the people and land that makes up the fabric of the vast majority of the country”.

“The RFDS does not exist without the rural communities of Australia,” they said.

Here’s to season four!

The nominees are:
