An Outback Nurse by Thea Hayes

Thea Hayes, a young city girl, trained as a nurse in Sydney
in 1959. A year later she was catapulted from the safety of
her city life into the unknown world of the Australian outback.

While on a holiday to the Red Centre, she impulsively accepted
a nursing job on Wave Hill Station in the Northern Territory,
the second largest property in the world under one management,
a property that covered four million acres. Having never spent
time outside the city, Thea was totally unprepared for the place she
would soon call home. Little did she know that her life was about
to change dramatically.

An Outback Nurse is a story of overcoming the odds to find your place
in the world. It's a story of falling in love with the land and finding love
on the land. But it's also about the story of growing up on one of Australia's
most famous outback stations, a place where History was made.
