About this listen

A collection of real-life accounts from nurses in the Australian bush - inspiring, poignant, horrifying and hilarious.

Stories and memories that capture the experience of nursing in the bush, gathered by the inimitable Bill 'Swampy' Marsh, best-selling author of Great Australian Flying Doctor Stories and Great Australian Police Stories.

With hearts as big as the outback, rural and remote nurses are a dedicated and gutsy bunch who work selflessly to care for their communities, often in isolated and inhospitable conditions, with few resources but plenty of experience, courage and care.

This memorable and eye-opening collection of real-life accounts from nurses in the Australian bush is by turns inspiring, poignant, horrifying and hilarious - and Swampy should know. It was while he was researching this book he had a near-fatal fall from a cliff in Kakadu, and experienced first-hand the skill and heroism of these outback nurses in extraordinary situations.

Packed with so much information! Loved the variety of stories and all the different situations that these nurses faced, and also found it very enlightening regarding so much of the aboriginal issues, life-style, health care etc in remote communities, and the sheer tenacity of the medical staff/RFDS in always doing everything they could to help. Was also very impressed with how many of the staff absolutely love working remotely, seems as though it is something very special, and it takes very special people to do these jobs. Thank you for a great Read!
