Paperback. Peter G Morton, Peter G Morton. For forty-six years Dr Peter Morton worked in the Australian bush. He was a GP, a hospital administrator, he worked for the Army, he flew with the Royal Flying Doctor Service. He saw the leaps in sophistication of the practice of medicine, even in the remotest places. But it is not only the love of his profession that informs these pages. Peter Morton loves the bush and the people who live in its varied landscapes. It is Peter's own delight in adventure and travel and the people one meets on the track that give his book its warmth. And Peter wasn't alone: his wife Leonore, his children and a legion of friends have shared his travels. This book is not just a hymn to rural medicine, it celebrates mateship in the best Australian way, by having a yarn. Paperback.…
