Back O' Bourke

Here in Sydney there is a saying that when you are "Back O' Bourke", you are somewhere out there, i.e. in the Outback where it is remote and deserted. See here for proof. Well, today, I went to Bourke! To see patients with the Flying Doctors.

We left early from Bankstown airport and had to make one stop before landing in Bourke. And actually, we lucked out - we were actually delayed because there had been a lot of fog earlier in the AM and they weren't sure we would be able to land. Luckily, the fog burned off and we were able to land.

Awesome!!!

Seeing patients there was lovely and having the experience to get out to Bourke for the day was absolutely wonderful.
