Outback Midwife by Beth Mcrae

Call the Midwife meets In the Middle of Nowhere in this heartwarming memoir of an adventurous Aussie midwife's life "catching babies." Outback Midwife is the story of Beth McRae's 40 years as a midwife, from her terrifying first day witnessing a birth as a naïve student nurse to her training as a midwife--the days when the words "birth plan" were unheard of and what women wanted was a long way from being part of any plan--to the outback. Beth's career of catching babies takes her from the city to the bush, bonding with people from all walks of life at one of the most important moments in their lives. But there was one more frontier she was determined to conquer. At a time when most people are thinking about slowing down, Beth decides to move to a remote Aboriginal community in Arnhem Land to embark on a whole other adventure.
Beth McRae began her training as a midwife at Albury Base Hospital in NSW, and went on catch babies all over Australia. After more than 30 years on the job, in her 50s there was one more frontier she was determined to conquer: the outback, where she believed her experience was needed more than anywhere else. So Beth upped sticks to a remote Aboriginal community in Arnhem Land and embarked on a whole new adventure.
