Darn a good yarn : stories, memories and yarns about the Flying Doctor. No. 1 / Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia ; Country Women's Association of Australia. - 125 pages : colour illustrations ; 24 cm.

For more than nine decades, the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia (RFDS) and the Country Women's Association (CWA) have worked together, shoulder to shoulder, to improve life in the bush. This publication is a joint effort between the RFDS and CWA. Our aim was to bring together stories, anecdotes, prose, artwork and recipes that talk to life in Australia's outback. This book captures those "Struth!" moments - good and bad - and provides real stories of how Aussies come together to assist each other in times of need. We were flooded with written contributions that are as varied as the people they come from. They are authentic, true experiences - communicated with honesty and often a wry sense of humour.
