She’d been recruited by Rev Stanley Drummond for his Far West Children’s Scheme to fly nurses out of Bourke to remote villages further West in the 1930’s. She spoke in glowing terms about the wives and mothers who raised families on stations out there. ‘The heroism of some of the outback women was inspirational. Their courage was sustained year after year in terrible conditions’.
In a recent interview, Jodi Sontag talked to me about her challenges as a modern day ‘woman of the west’. Go to Read More to WATCH the interview.

This story allows me to understand the struggles people go through and how in some way they get through with the help of others. The way that people find the Lord and how he brings people together and gives them direction and support in their life.
