About this audiobook
Almost single-handedly, John Flynn of the Australian Inland Mission brought to the outback the Flying Doctor Service, a non-profit organisation providing emergency and primary health care services for those living in rural, remote or regional areas – one of the largest and most comprehensive aeromedical organisations in the world. Flynn also brought many Bush Hospitals to the outback. His magnificent vision, formed as he travelled on the back of a camel across the vast space of Australia’s outback, took a lifetime of courageous commitment to bring to reality. Now in its 52nd edition, Flynn of the Island covers the creation of an inland network centred on Alice Springs, from camel travelling to the early days of radio and the aeroplane. This is a refreshed cover edition.
