The Royal Flying Doctor Service is a unique icon of Australian culture. Its many pilots, doctors, nurses and support staff who risk their lives daily to save others, have helped build a nation. And they, and the remote stations and communities which they serve, have become enduring symbols of what it means to be Australian.
Bill 'Swampy' Marsh has crafted an enthralling swag of first-hand accounts from all walks of life just in time, before reality vanishes into urban myth. With fascination we eavesdrop on wonderful, frightening, hilarious, tragic and poignant true stories, but we have more than just a remarkable anecdotal record - we have a chronicle that keeps us in touch with the independent, inspired, and often larrikin-spirited pioneers of our inland.
This collection of stories comes directly from many of our unsung heroes via Bill Marsh who, in turn, sings their songs and writes their stories in a true Australian voice. We feel, not like listeners, but like friends sitting around a campfire sharing some of life's most memorable experiences.
