Dr. Andrew Lowman is an Australian Eye Specialist who has a passion for restoring sight to those who would otherwise endure life with poor eyesight or blindness.
Medical facilities are not easily accessed in the wide-open spaces and isolation of the outback where the air is hot, flies are plenty and life is tough for those on the land.
Thanks to the Flying Doctor Service, Andrew and his team are flown in to a cattle station near Bourke, NSW, where they conduct a regular clinic for the Aboriginals and others on the land in the area. Their time is divided between two stations and the town of Bourke itself. They follow this routine every second week, giving the outback a service it wouldn’t otherwise receive.
Become a part of the outback – the land, they call home.
A land as beautiful as it is harsh. A land which captures the hearts of all those who live on her.

CHAPTER ONE
One Week Earlier
Dubbo – NSW
I hurried across the tarmac to the offices of the Flying Doctor Service and when I pushed the door open and entered the building, a welcome gust of cold air greeted me. I figured it must have been at least a thousand degrees in the shade outside.
Rachel, one of the radio operators, glanced up from her computer and smiled before handing me the bug spray to kill off the zillion flies which had hitched a lift into the building via my back. I sprayed it around liberally, causing a couple of other staff members to let out a curse and start coughing. The looks directed my way were enough to melt icebergs.
“What?” I spun around.
“Ignore them, Andrew, we all know it’s non-allergenic. It doesn’t even have an odour. They do it just to get under your skin. You’ve been coming here long enough to know it.”
“I know, Rachel, but I still hate the thought that one of them might be affected by it even if we aren’t. Team here?”
“In the back enjoying a cold drink.”
“Who’s our pilot?”
“James.”
