More than 40 outback, rural and remote nurses tell their engaging stories in Bill Marsh’s latest book, which is part of the Great Australian Stories collection. The well-known author has dedicated his 16th book to Care Flight NT, Kakadu National Park’s rangers and nursing and support staff from Jabiru who helped save his life. Following a near-fatal fall from a cliff in Kakadu while researching his book, he experienced first-hand the care of many nurses and support staff. The stories have one common thread — the dedication to a profession that sees the best and worst of humanity, sometimes in the toughest of environments.
