An Outback Nurse

A nostolgic memoir of an extraordinary woman

Thea Hayes left her Sydney city life behind in 1959 when she took her first job as a newly qualified nurse at Wave Hill Station in the Northern Territory. Little did Thea know that she was about to find herself living among a large aboriginal community on a vast station. This is the inspiring story of how she took on the job, met the love of her life, and became part of the historical Wave Hill Station walk out. This is wonderful story of a strong woman living and working in remote and difficult circumstances.
